From 1767-1770, England placed the Townshend Acts, a tax on all imports, upon the Colonies. Sometime during this time, they repealed the Acts, with the exception of tea. In 1773, England passed the Tea Act, which basically a royally granted monopoly to the East India Tea Co. on tea imported to the Colonies. The colonists rebelled on 16 December 1773 by dressing as American Indians and throwing the tea off the East India boats.
