Why did the people of Boston hold a tea party?

It was not actually a "tea party". They dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act which required the colonists to exclusively purchase tea from the British West Indies Company. This angered the colonists because they could not purchase tea elsewhere for better prices or quality.

Was the Boston tea party a war?

The Boston Tea Party was actually not a war. Here is what it was, and what happened. The Tea Act passed. The colonists did not want to pay taxes. So, here is where the Boston Tea Party kicks in, one year after the Tea Act. Here is what you've been waiting for! The Boston Tea Party was an event that was three boats full of colonists. They cut open chests of tea and they dumped it in the Boston Harbor (harr-berr)! The colonists had to pay it off. So, the colonists named that law the Intolerable(in-toll-err-a-bowl) Act. So, the Boston Tea Party was not a war, but it was an event that the colonists responded to the Tea Act.


What were the colonists rebelling against in the Boston tea party?
