When Gandhi was walking to the sea with at first around 70 people but as he was marching he ending up with thousands of people. They were marching to the sea where on the shore were tons of salt just gathered in piles, but that was illegal for Indians to get salt and sell it, or use it. Britain wanted to sell it themeselves so they could make money. At first the British didnt respond until one day in market they came in on horses and beat most people down , and took who ever theywanted to jail for either buying salt , collecting salt, or selling salt.

Hope that helped you .
