When new taxes were levied in the Townshend Revenue Act of 1767, Whig colonists again responded with protests and boycotts
Parliament finally responded to the protests by repealing the Townshend taxes in 1770, except for the tea
A possible solution for reducing the growing mound of tea in the East India Company warehouses was to sell it cheaply in Europe
Even with the Townshend duty in effect, the Tea Act would allow the East India Company to sell tea more cheaply than before
In September and October 1773, seven ships carrying East India Company tea were sent to the colonies
Americans learned the details of the Tea Act while the ships were en route, and opposition began to mount
he price of legally imported tea was actually reduced by the Tea Act of 1773
The familiar "no taxation without representation" argument, along with the question of the extent of Parliament's authority in the colonies, remained prominent
Colonial merchants, some of them smugglers, played a significant role in the protests. Because the Tea Act made legally imported tea cheaper, it threatened to put smugglers of Dutch tea out of business
a group of 30 to 130 men, some dressed in the Mohawk warrior disguises, boarded the three vessels and, over the course of three hours, dumped all 342 chests of tea into the water
