The British wanted the colonists to pay with the sugar act and the stamp act. They also wanted them to pay back for all the tea that they had dumped. A lot of people think that Indians dumped the tea, but actually, colonists dressed up as Mohawk Indians and decided to dump the tea after the British tea ship refused to leave and land at the harbor. The Stamp Act was where the colonists had to pay taxes, and they paid the taxes by going to certain offices and getting a stamp on any item that included paper, like Newspapers or Books they had bought, and normally the stamp was a skull. The Sugar act was basically the same but with things like sugar and flower. The colonists decided to boycott, or not buy British goods, and Britain sent their soldiers to raid the colonists.
