The Tea Act which took place in 1773, and was one of the last attempts from the British to control the amount of money it was making on the colonies. The Boston Tea Party occurred soon after this act started being enforced, resulting in hundreds of cases of tea being dumped into the Boston Harbour. The British kept on attempting to pass taxes in the American colonies but every new tax they passed fueled the revolutionary flame within the angered
The Boston Tea Party was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 16, 1773. The Coercive Acts are names used to describe a series of laws relating to Britain's colonies in North America and passed by the British Parliament in 1774. Four of the acts were issued in direct response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773. Patrick was part of a Son Of Liberty which was a organization that was created in the Thirteen American Colonies. The society was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight taxation by the British
The sons of liberty were smugglers. They smuggled tea from south America and sell it cheaper than the British and would pay the taxes. So then the British made their tea the same price. The sons of liberty, then planed that there would dress up as Mohawk Indians and throw the tea in the harbor.
A shot was fired on either side leading to the death of five colonists. This event became known as the Boston Massacre. This fueled the colonists to continue protesting and eventually led to Britain repealing all taxes in the Tea Act in 1773 except on tea. This was an act for Britain to continue to pay the local government and shows it ultimate power over the colonies. In response to this, the colonists banded together in their common cause and in the night of 1773, the colonists dressed as Mohawk Indians and dumped tea into the Boston Harbor.
However, in 1773, the East India Company noticed that there was an overproduction of tea and its prices surely would decline (“The Third Imperial Crisis”). Tea was one of the, if not the, most valuable asset to many members in Parliament. Britain was forced to impose a new Tea tax on the colonists, which was aimed to keep the price of tea high. Even this act was reasonable in the eyes of the British, but to the colonists, this was just a British way of assuring dominance considering it was now for profit rather than to pay off debts. The response to the Tea Acts was the Boston Tea Party of 1773 (“The Third Imperial Crisis”).
Immaturity In 1773, a group of men, known as the Sons of Liberty, rebelled against the Tea Act, which put a tax on tea. As a form of rebellion, the Sons of Liberty, threw 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, destroying millions of dollars worth of tea. Samuel Johnson, an author at the time, was not pleased by the actions of the Sons of Liberty. Samuel Johnson was also an intelligent man, he studied at Oxford, but had to transfer because of financial issues.
Under the Townshend Revenue Act, a tax had to be paid for the purchase of glass, lead, oil, paint, paper, and tea. These Non-Importation Agreements were some of the most effective means of colonial resistance against British policy before the American Revolution. Similar agreements were once again utilized throughout the colonies five years later to protest the Tea Act with the boycott of British East India Company’s tea that later resulted in the Boston Tea
It was an outcome of the Tea Act imposed by British Parliament to restore the East India Company's full refund on the 25% duty imposed for importing tea into Britain. It also permitted the company to export tea to the American colonies on its own account and led to a number of protests from the colonies. On December 16, 1773, a group of colonists boarded the three shiploads of taxed tea in Boston and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The event became famously known as the Boston Tea
A new tea tax was introduced to the American colonies in New England. This action did not prove very popular and led
The Boston Tea Party was a violent, courageous, and an eventful act that took place in 1997 because of constant disputes. It started to become a large issue when the British and English colonist constantly disagreed about the unfair taxes that were charged from the British. The colonists didn’t agree to the taxes at all the the government officials formed a plan. The British put such a hefty tax on the tea because they realized the demand was so outrageously high, and they could make a much larger profit off of it. Colonists did not want to pay the huge taxes, so they started buying/smuggling tea from East India, but the British wanted to have the colonists to buy tea from them because of the taxes.
The political protest known as the Boston Tea Party took place on the evening of December 16, 1773, in Boston, Massachusetts. The political protest was a demonstration of rebellion orchestrated by the Sons of Liberty in order to protest the Tea Act. The royal governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson, allowed three ships- The Dartmouth, The Eleanor, and The Beaver- to enter the Boston Harbor. The ships were carrying tea to sell to the colonists on behalf of the British East India Company.
The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a “patriot”. They were throwing sticks, snowballs, and trash at a group of British troops. The loyalists got very annoyed with the patriots so they shot into the mob killing five. The riot began when around 50 colonists attacked a British sentinel. A British officer called in for additional troops
The boston tea party occurred when colonist as a way of rebelion attack british by throwing the tea that they found in their ships. And some people wonder why they did that and historic events show that there were French Indian War before that make the colonists to have an economic crisis so they can pay for the products. And the unique product that haven’t tax was the tea.
When the British ships arrived in the Boston Harbor The colonist wanted the tea shipped back to England with out payment of tax. Then the royal governor of England insisted on payment of tax. On December 16 a group of men know as the Sons of Liberty disguised there self as Indians and boarded the British ships and dumped all of the tea into the Boston harbor. After that happened parliament passed Coercive Acts. Theses act were put in to place to punish the colonist for dumping the British tea into the Boston harbor.
The Night of the Boston Tea Party I am about to talk about my grandfather John, he was in the Boston Tea party. He blames the Loyalist because of their unfair taxes, unfair rules, and think they have the blame for the Boston Tea Party. He was the bravest Patriot I knew. So without further ado this is my grandfather's journey through the Boston Tea Party. It was December 16, 1773 John was talking about how he did not like the British taxes and laws to his wife Mary.
