The group of colonists particularly upset by the drop in the price of tea were the American merchants and smugglers. They feared that the lower price, due to the British East India Company's monopoly, would undermine their businesses and eliminate competition. This discontent contributed to rising tensions that culminated in events like the Boston Tea Party.
