Who were the stakeholders of the Boston tea party?

There were two audiences, actually. The immediate audience was the angry colonists who were present on December 16, 1773 when the event occurred, as well as those who watched or soon heard about this protest against unfair British taxation of tea. But the other audience was the King of England-- he wasn't there, although his soldiers were, but the colonists were sending him a message. They believed British rule had become too onerous and unjust, and they were ready to take action.


Who established the most famous Lost Colony?

The lost colony of Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina, was established by British colonists led by Sir Walter Raleigh. When he came back from a trip to get more supplies from Britain, he landed on the island and found no one there - the colonists had disappeared. Historians have theories about what happened to the colonists of Roanoke Island, but no one knows for sure what happened.


Did the settlers have rules or laws to follow?

Of course. ALL civilized nations of the world (and even some "un-civilized" ones), all have a codified rule of law. This has been true since ancient civilizations to present. When people immigrate, they bring their knowledge of former rules and laws with them. In the case of Colonial America, settlers were under British rule, so the colonists brought British rule and rules with them. If they were not from Britain, people were expected to adapt to British laws. However, British colonists finally had enough of British taxes and revolted. When the colonists made their own government and laws, people were expected to adapt to the rules and laws of The United States of America. This remains true today. (And immigrants to other countries are expected to follow their laws.)
