"Boston Tea Party" by Cassandra Jansen
Summary: In this article, "Boston Tea Party" it explains the actions of colonists in Boston which were consquences to the Tea Act of 1773 passed by Briatin's East Indian Company government. When the company was going to go bankrupt from not being able to sell their tea to England, they dropped their taxes from exportation. This bacially undermined colonial merchants because now their was no use for the middle men and was excluding the colonies in trade, which is one of the reasons they were upset at this act. Although this meant no tax on tea, colonists came together to protest and boycott anyways. Other colonies just prevented cargoes from coming, but in Boston the ships came, and this is when patriots hopped on the ships poored all the tea into the water. This is the "Boston tea party". Then as a result from this retaliation and rusing to pay for this tea, they placed the Coercive Act on the colonist which stirred them up even more.
Significance: This is significant because this reveals the controversy between the colonists and England and the whole time period of passing acts and taxation and the back and forth. Also, this is a stepping stone of protests and boycotts, which the Tea Act uproared, and which led to the Coercive Act; which again led to more chaos.
