The story of the Boston Tea party is infamous. Here is a short take on the events. In an attempt to keep the British East India company from going out of business the British government forced colonists to purchase their tea. In May 1773, the British parliament passed the Tea Act. The Tea Act allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonists, bypassing the colonial wholesale merchants. This helped to lower their cost and sell below other vendors and thus creating a monolpy.The colonists soon revolted and one evening in December boarded three British ships, the Beaver, the Eleanor and the Dartmouth, and dumped forty-five tons of tea into the Boston Harbor.
