What were the factors leading to and impact of the Boston Tea Party?
What will be an ideal response?
The Sons of Liberty wanted to create an environment in which the colonies would be forced to push away the possibility of reconciliation with Great Britain. The primary cause of this event was a corporate bailout of the East India Tea Company at colonists’ expense. This bailout came by way of the Tea Act of 1763, which gave the East India Tea Company a tax-free monopoly on the tea trade in the colonies. While most colonists saw this act as a necessary evil, not everyone supported the actions of the political radicals. They feared the violence that accompanied the protest and the ramifications that would later follow (via the Intolerable Acts), which were aimed directly at the Port of Boston.
