Is this a trick question? John Hancock was a Bostonian............
American colonists did not want to pay the tea tax that Britain had recently established in the colonies. To show their discontent, the people of Boston dumped tea into the harbor to show that they were not going to pay for it.
The short version is that the tax was already paid while the tea sat waiting in the harbor, but nothing else was paid for because the tea never was sold. In fact the blockade of Boston harbor was entirely because England wanted to force the colony to pay for that tea. The long version is that this was the tinder box which first brought a significant number of british troops against the colonists and made possible the first battles in lexington and concord.
the fiddler is the British and the bill is the bill after the Boston tea party. it was what the colonist would have to pay after the sons of liberty dumped the tea in the harbor I think don't take my word for it

The Boston Tea Party was when a bunch of colonial people dumped a load of British tea into the harbor because they didn't want to pay taxes...
He demanded the tea be unloaded and that the people pay the taxes on the tea.
The New Englanders didn't want to pay taxes to king George so they dumped a bunch of tea from a British ship into the harbor. This was pretty much an act of protest against the ridiculous taxes
No,but the colonist had to pay for the tea they dumped

They wanted to show that they still had the right to collect taxes in America and they needed money from the loss of money in the French and Indian War.In order to make a profit from the Colonies, although they knew the Colonists were opposed to External Taxes
