trouble. In May 1773, the Tea Act was enacted by the British Parliament as a benefit to
business. As a result, the East India Company received a tax cut on their tea, making it more
affordable than tea that was being smuggled into the colonies from other countries. Although
some colonists believed the measure was a ploy to get them to pay the despised Townshend
duty on tea, it was not widely accepted. They would disagree with the idea that only colonial
administrations could impose taxes on the colonies. The royal governor of Massachusetts
forbade the ships carrying the company's tea from leaving the harbour without first paying
the duty on the tea. During the evening of December 16, 1773, demonstrators, some dressed
as Native Americans, stormed three ships in Boston Harbor and dumped 342 chests of tea
from the East Indian Company into the water. Parliament chose to penalize Boston and the
residents of Massachusetts instead of abolishing the Tea Act. Boston's port was shut down.
This gave the colonies one more reason to dislike Parliament and take a step toward
announcing their independence.

In an effort to conquer Massachusetts, the government lavished enormous quantities of

money on troops and weaponry. Shipments of robbed, damaged, and ruined goods to the
colonies have cost British merchants enormous sums of money. Except for the duty on tea,
the duties were repealed by Parliament on March 5, 1770. The Boston Massacre took place
on the same day as the Royal Governor decided to withdraw the occupying force from
Boston, setting the stage for the revolution to quickly escalate into an armed uprising across
the colonies. After the French and Indian War, in 1774, the British government decided to
gain more from the colonies. The colonies were subjected to higher levies without any
representation in Britain. This ultimately resulted in the Boston Tea Party. The Brits
responded by enacting a number of punishing laws designed to reassert the King's authority
over the colonies.
