Boston Tea Party

This Action was taken by the colonists when the East India Company send them the tea to their port. Parliament set the law to sell directly to the colonists from the companies, so it was cheaper than the smugglers which was the Dutch tea. The colonists refused to pay these taxes. So one time the colonists were so tired, that three tea ships caused a very furious reaction in them. At night the colonists went to the port they dumped the tea to the sea. This caused that the British people got angry and started collecting money from the colonists to pay all the looses that this action had caused. So the colonists were getting tired of all these abuses the British had with them. This was the famous act called the ''Boston Tea Party''.

Sugar Act

The Sugar Act was when the Parliament declared to pay taxes on every foreign molasses of things that were being imported to the colonies. They made that the French Molasses were more expensive then the British ones so colonists decided to pay more taxes to them then to the other ones. Lord Greenville was trying to make the colonies in line of the taxes. Later on many other products were also paying the taxes like: sugar, certain wines, coffee, pimiento, cambric and printed calico. All these products were also producing taxes to the British so one day the colonists were too tired of just working to pay the taxes of the British that they were angry so what they did was the British to stop the Sugar Act and invent something else that people was afford to pay.

Stamp Act

It was a new rule that the British Colonies applied in the colonies in America that said that every document, or thing that was printed had to be produced on a stamp paper which represented that people had payed taxes. Some of the objects that had to get the stamp were newspapers, magazines, documents, and other types. These taxes were needed to support the troops that were in America and to support them in the ''Seven Years War''. This tax was such a problem to the colonists that they were all against it. They made something that was against the Stamp Act called: the Sons of Liberty and at the end the British Government couldn't handle them and they had to took the Stamp Act law away.
