the big ones were the stamp act which made all of the people in the colonies pay a tax on letters to pay for the french-indian war which the colonies were not even a part of. The other one was when the british taxed tea. The tea taxes went up so much that the main supplyer of tea 4 the colonies had to make their own prices go way up. The colonies then started buying black market tea imported from the Netherlands instead of the British East Indian tea company. Then they company drastically dropped their prices do to nobody buying the tea, but the colonists thought they were being minipulated and the british were rying to take away jobs from the colonists so they had the Boston tea party.
