The American colonists protest against the tea act of 1773 by dumping shipments of tea into the harbor.
The tea tax infuriated the colonists in America. They thought the Tea Act was a ploy to get colonial support for the already-enacted tariff. The British East India Company's agents sold tea directly to the American colonies, which hurt colonial merchants' profits.
