The British, seeking to recuperate losses from overspending on the American campaign of the French-Indian War, taxed goods exported from England into the United States.
After protest and boycott, the British repealed all taxes EXCEPT the tax on Tea to act as a symbol of Parliament's superiority over all legislation (something that English political philosophers were proud of--the idea that Britain's "unwritten constitution" vested absolute power in a parliament of representatives who virtually presented the needs of the people they claimed to serve). The Colonists saw it as a continuation of "taxation without representation", so a group of "patriots" (terrorists, in reality) dumped tea from the East India Company flotilla overboard when docked in Boston.
