1) We were under Britain / United Kingdom rule back then
2) The people here were pissed cause Britain was taxing us on everything and not representing us properly back in Britain.
So basically they were taking our tax dollars and not doing anything for us. Kind of like how our government operates now except they were taking even less back then.
It was an act of defiance.
Also if the citizens don't buy any tea from England, the merchants don't get any money. That could also be considered.
Parliament respond by passing the coercive Act four law designed to punish Boston and the rest of Massachusetts and the strengthen British control over all the colonies.

The Boston Tea Party was actually not a war. Here is what it was, and what happened. The Tea Act passed. The colonists did not want to pay taxes.

They cut open chests of tea and they dumped it in the Boston Harbor (harr-berr)! The colonists had to pay it off. So, the colonists named that law the Intolerable(in-toll-err-a-bowl) Act. So, the Boston Tea Party was not a war, but it was an event that the colonists responded to the Tea Act.
