High import fees led to the smuggling of non-Britain goods (Dutch tea) which subsequently resulted in the East India Company going into debt and holding a big surplus of tea that no one would buy. Since Britain needed this company they were given a loan and the cancelled the import fees. As a result the tea from the East India…

Boston Tea Party The British East Indian Company went into debt after having corrupt management and becoming involved in a war that cost them a great deal of money. This caused me and another seventeen million pounds to be packed into chests and stored in a warehouse. We all started to lose hope as the days went by and we remained unsold. Then an unlikely hero emerged. His name is Lord North, the prime minister of Britain. He originally put a tax on us that resulted in Dutch tea to be smuggled…

colonists had done upon them, but much worse. What happened was that a small group of Boston colonists had destroyed more than 300 boxes of tea, by throwing it into the Boston Harbor. That's when King George III finally had it and enforced the Coercive acts, but sadly known as the Restraining or Intolerable acts to colonists.

punishment of the colonists who referred this as ‘The Intolerable Act’. This caused great difficulty for America for it crippled the economy. This punishment by the British involved closing down of the port in Boston only to be reopened when the colonist have paid back every amount of the cost of the tea that was dumped into the ocean. The punishment also involved stopping of town hall meetings in Massachusetts because the British believed the colony was too democratic and limited them to having…

Great Britain continued to tax colonists and leave us out of decisions, creating a one way leadership. The Boston Tea Party was the leading source of the cause of the American Revolution. Patriots threw tea off of the British ships at the Boston Harbor in a revolt against British taxes. The British responded by closing the Boston Harbor and demanding repayment, and more acts followed, attempting to end our resistance, however failed by only making it worse. There was…

led to rebellious acts such as the Boston Tea Party. In today’s American political structure, the concept of representation still holds much importance, which can be seen through all of the elected positions that can be held today. From President of the United States to Parish President of Saint Charles Parish, all of these positions possess an integral function to our democratic…

The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16, 1773, and was really one of the final straws before first blood was spilled. This event was a widespread protest against the Tea Act that the British Parliament had passed without colonial say or representation; the Americans felt voiceless and felt as they were not well-represented and their opinions, not at all well voiced. Upset and defiant, the Boston merchants were able to find a way to evade the Acts…

country is still fighting for its Independence. Philadelphians, like many Americans, are divided over the conflict of the war.
