What unites the Stamp Act the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party?
All were related to British Taxes. The stamp act was and is a tax. New York still has it. The Boston Massacre happened because high taxes put a lot of people out of work just like in New York today. People out of work blamed solders (revenuers) enforcing the tax laws. They threw stones at them (Infitada). The solders shot them. The Boston Tea Party occurred because the colonists opposed a tax on tea and would not let a ship unload its tea until the tax was repealed. Tea is not taxed specifically except in places that have sales tax.
