The air of the nation during those days as an English colony had built to a fever pitch with several other acts that placed a great number of new taxes on the colonies long before the Tea Act. It was this constant pressure from Britain that forced the colonies to act in defiance to the added taxes on tea and other goods of import. This constant barrage of new taxes really left nowhere else for the colonists to go but to war and I would have supported that belief also.
