Boston Tea Party

The British Government decided to tax the colonies in North America in order to raise the money needed to govern them, which brought in the stamp act. Which taxed item such as newspaper and playing cards. The colonists disagreed. The British Government abandoned the stamp act.

Instead they put an import tax on glass,paper,paint and tea in the colonists in 1773. The colonists in Boston dumped a cargo of tea in the sea which then started the beginning  of a revolution.
