1773
Boston Tea Party Background: Tea Act of 1773:
Already a tax on British tea....so American colonists would smuggle it in from other countries
Britain had lots of extra tea in warehouses they needed to sell, so
Just passed law saying American colonies could only import tea from Britain
Patriots didn’t like Britain coming in and telling them what to do/not to get tea from other places on their own
“No taxation without representation” Lots of other taxes before (on paperwork, on other British goods,
cost of paying for and housing British soldiers to be in America)
Pushed Patriots closer to war with British
