The Tea Act of 1773 granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies, allowing it to sell tea at a lower price but still requiring the payment of tax. This angered colonists, who viewed it as another example of taxation without representation, as they had no voice in the British Parliament. The Act galvanized colonial opposition, leading to events like the Boston Tea Party, where colonists protested by dumping British tea into Boston Harbor. This growing resentment and desire for self-governance ultimately fueled the push for independence from British rule.
