Well that led to French fight

British won, claiming more land. This caused
Britain to pay the taxes.Sugar and Molasses were
then taxed on and supposed
to be paid more than usual. This upset
the colonist, and some bought tea with no sugar.Britain put taxes on newspaper,
legal documents etc. The colonist
were angry and did not like this.British taxed British goods sent to the
American colonies. The colonists were
furious and this lead to " no taxation without
representation" American colonist thought this
was not right.Colonist and soldiers had a fight and a soldier
had thought the leader said fire. It then became
an awful event. Five colonists had died in the event.Boston Colonist was angry at the tea act,
so they dumped crates of tea off the
ships and into the Boston harbor.The 12 of the 13 colonies gathered up together
