उत्तर
- Bypassing local merchants and enforcing taxes without representation, the British East India Company was able to sell tea directly to the colonies according to the Tea Act of 1773.
- At Boston Harbour, American colonists dressed as Native Americans protested by boarding British ships and throwing 342 chests of tea into the sea.
- By raising tensions between the American colonists and the British government, this act of defiance fuelled the American independence movement and resulted in a harsh British response through the Intolerable Acts.
