What law or command did the British make to the Tea Act?
The Tea Act of 1773 gave British tea companies a hegemony over all the American tea trade. The Tea Act was created to provide protection for the British East India Tea Company, which was struggling against competition, as well as a way to tax the colonists.
Why were colonists angered by the Tea Act?
Although the British East India Company had reduced the price on their tea (due to the Tea Act), this was just a way to hide the taxes of the Townshend Acts from the colonists. Aware of these taxes, the colonists refused to purchase ths tea, refusing to accept that the British had the right to tax them. They protested during the Boston Tea Party, where they dumped the tea into the Boston harbor.
In what year did the Boston colonists boycott the British Tea Act?
1775, right after the tea tax
How did The Intolerable Acts affect the relations between the colonists and Britain?
they were the acts that made the colonists start the Boston tea party... they housed british soldiers in to colonists houses
Which contributed the outbreak of the Revolutionary War?
The battlecry was "Taxation without representation". The British government imposed taxes upon the colonists; but the colonists had no say in what was taxed and by how much.
