∙ 12y agoNo. They didn't need the tea. The men who dumped the tea were smugglers of tea and they dumped it because the East India Company had LOWERED the tax on tea ( not raised it) and the smugglers tea was higher in price after that happened. One of the biggest smugglers in the colonies was Hamilton who was also involved with the Son's of Liberty. The story about the Boston Tea Party that we think we know is mainly a fable.

Why did civil war start after Caesar's death?
Civil unrest was started after Caesar's death because of a power grab. Basically the senatorial party tried to glorify the assassins while the populist party called for revenge. As there was no clear cut successor to Caesar, who had been a dictator, each party vied for supremacy. And of course, Roman politics being what they were, there were men who tried to use the unrest to further their own ambitions.
