When the British East India Company put taxes on Boston, the people of Boston got really angry. The reason why they were angry was very easy to understand. They were crazy for many reasons. One reason is that the English raised taxes. A couple of acts were The Port Act, The Tea Act, The Stamp Act, and The Intolerable. The acts that really upset the colonist were the Tea Act and the Port Act. The Boston Tea Party was one of the results of the colonists' anger and indignation towards the Tea Act. The Boston Tea Party broke out as a result of the Stamp Act and many other taxes on the colonies. Before the Boston Tea Party, life in the colonies was tough. People farmed. They grew crops for food and money. They also bought, sold, raised, and killed animals for wealth and food. Most of them used animal skins to make coats to wear for warmth in the winter. When it came to education, kids had a limited amount of it. They usually learned to work in the fields and plant crops. The girls spent most of their time learning home economics. They learned to do household chores such as washing dishes, cleaning the house, and cooking food for the men who worked all day. When the English took control of the colonies, they imposed many taxes on the colonists. One of the taxes was the Tea Act. The law allowed for increased duties and customs on the export of tea to Her Majesty's colonies on tea intended for sale by the British East India Company. When the English did this, the colonists were outraged. One night, when they had finally had enough of the taxes, the people and the colonists gathered at night at Boston Harbor. Wearing Indian-style clothing and jewelry, they tossed three hundred and forty-two chests of tea belonging to the British East India C...... middle of paper ...... aw to keep trade coming from other countries or Boston people. Furthermore, colonists could not obtain wealth or goods from foreign lands or people. This law was just one of many taxes imposed on the colonists. The other acts were the Quebec Act, the Quartering Act, the Justice Act and many others. These acts were just some of the taxes and laws that became known as the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts were a big problem after the advent of the Boston Tea Party. In conclusion, the British East India Company imposed many taxes and laws on the colonists and people of Boston. They made them feel as if they were treated unfairly and used only for the wealth and income of their motherland. Eventually there was a great war called the American Revolution. The colonists won and regained the rights and freedoms they had before the English exercised control over them.
