jan 23, 1773 - Tea Act

Description:

The act was passed so that American Colonists couldn't buy tea unless it came from the East India Company. The colonists saw this as another meaning of taxation without representation because they couldn't buy tea from anyone else without spending a lot of money. This then led to the Boston Tea Party
