The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.

What was the tea act how did colonists react to the tea act?
The Tea Act of 1773 was a British law allowing the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the American colonies, effectively lowering its price but maintaining the tax on tea. Colonists viewed this as an attempt to undermine local merchants and assert British control over colonial trade. In protest, many colonists organized boycotts and demonstrations, culminating in the Boston Tea Party, where they dumped an entire shipment of tea into Boston Harbor in December 1773. This act of defiance escalated tensions between Britain and the colonies, leading to further conflict.
