10 mai 1773 - Tea Act Passed
Description:
This act gave the British East India Company a monopoly over the tea trade in the colonies. The main purpose was not to gain money but to save the British East India Company from going out of business. The colonists did not agree with this law and it reminded them of the tax on tea that was never repealed.Ajouté au bande de temps:
