Boston Tea Party

  Even when the colonists had repeled most of the taxes the Parliament wouldn´t give up they kept insisting in taxing the colonists. The colonists kept refusing to pay taxes if they had no representation. After all the protests of the colonists against the taxation without representation thye Parliament had regressed most of the taxes except one, tea tax. The colonists decided to boycott the East Indie Company that was in charge of shipping English tea to America, instead of buying the tea from England they would buy smuggled Dutch tea. The English Parliament realized that the East Indie Company was falling in bankrupcy so it passed a law that gave permission to the company to sell directly to the Colonists. The colonists kept without buying the tea.On December 16, 1773, after officials of Boston refused to send back three ships fullof  tea to Britain, a group of colonists dressed as Indians to remain in the anonimatum boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into the harbor of boston.
