Answer:

The colonists objected to the monopoly on tea and the import duty (tariff).  

Explanation:

In 1776, the United States gained independence by signing a declaration on July 4 that freed the 13 colonies from English rule.  England overcame France in the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763), but, faced with the high costs of maintaining the conquered territories, imposed a series of tributes on the American colony.  Among them, the Sugar Law (Stamp duty on sugar not coming from the English Antilles), Seal Law (all documents originating in the colony, such as contracts, newspapers and trades, would receive a seal from the English crown) and Law of the Tea (the settlers could only buy tea monopolized by the Company of the East Indies, of the English merchants).  Faced with all these laws, revolts have arisen. One of them, against the Tea Law, was the "Boston tea party."

How do you think the land gained by the Mexican Cession will affect the relationship between the North and the South in regards
Harrizon [31]
The issue of whether to permit slavery in the territories organized in this new land consumed Congress at the end of the 1840s. During the war, Congressman David Wilmot introduced the Wilmot Proviso, a proposal to ban slavery in any new territory acquired from Mexico. The measure passed in the House of Representatives but failed in the Senate.
Congress was also seeking resolutions for several other controversial matters. Antislavery advocates wanted to end the slave trade in the District of Columbia, while proslavery advocates aimed to strengthen fugitive slave laws. But the most pressing problem was California: the many emigrants who had flocked to the territory upon the discovery of gold in the late 1840s had forced the question of its statehood and status as a slave or free state.
The presidential election of 1848 determined which of these issues would be tackled first.

There would be Major conflict at first but as I understand it would be resolved
