What was the loyalist opinion on the Boston tea party?

Answer 1

It made the king mad so he closed the port of Boston and sent more troops. This was an economic issue at the heart of it. The British had lowered the taxes on tea ( not raised them) , in doing so they affected the smugglers in the colonies who made a good living from selling at below cost than the shops. When the tea tax was lowered it made the Dutch teas the smugglers sold higher, so this made them mad. Hamilton was one of the biggest smugglers in the colonies so he got his men together to attack the tea ships under the guise of "freedom" from the monopoly of the East India Tea Company who had a lot of control in the British government . If you think about it this makes much more sense than the fable we are told.
