Because of the Boston Tea Party.
The original intent of the Boston Tea Party was to send a message to the King to tell him to remove the taxes or there would be a consequences
They told the British government that,"Boston Harbour is a teapot tonight."it is because they didnt wanna pay there taxes the british were charging them.
The colonists were outraged when the British taxed the colonists (after the French Indian War) crazy amounts. The British had a large tax on the colonists favorite drink, tea. So the colonists dumped a ton of tea off a British ship in Boston Harbor to make the point that they did not want to be taxed so heavily.
what message did Stalin want to send out to US and British governments
The Boston Tea Party sent a clear message to King George III that American colonists would not tolerate taxation without representation. By dumping a large quantity of British tea into Boston Harbor, the colonists demonstrated their defiance against the Tea Act and British authority. This act of protest signified a growing sentiment for independence and unity among the colonies, challenging the king's control and policies. Ultimately, it escalated tensions between Britain and the colonies, paving the way for the American Revolution.
Send a private message to them.
The Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism by America colonials against the British. The British would not allow the colonials to buy tea from anyone but them, and then they raised the tax on tea to an unsupportable level. Finally, in frustration, a small group of colonials dressed as American Indians protested these British action by raiding the British tea storehouse in Boston, siezing the crates of tea, and throwing them into the sea.
MASSACHUSETTS
Boston's governor would not send away the shipments of tea during the period leading up to the American Revolution, particularly in the context of the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The refusal to send the tea back was a response to the colonists' opposition to the Tea Act, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies and imposed taxes without representation. This act of defiance ultimately led to the protest where colonists dumped the tea into Boston Harbor as a statement against British taxation.
