The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The colonists were so angry with the heavy taxation imposed by the British crown that they boarded ships containing tea in Boston and other colonies. Specifically, the Boston Tea Party was the political protest of December 16, 1773, in Boston, Massachusetts. Colonists tired of "taxation without representation" threw 342 chests of tea into the Boston harbor. The tea belonged to the British East India Company. This kind of taxation, as well as the Stamp Act or the Sugar Act, were causes of the Revolutionary War that was fought to gain independence from Britain.

How did the role of the Japanese emperor differ from Chinese emperor??
brilliants [131]
Japanese Imperial family had been around for milleniums, but Chinese Imperial family changed each time the dynasty had changed.

Why? While Chinese emperor was like a 'King' who ruled the country by power, Japanese emperor was more like the 'pope' who have had power at one stage but later turned into nothing but a subject of religious belief.

In China, the country had 13 different dynasties over 4 milleniums up until early 20th century when the 'Last Emperor' resigned. Each Imeprial family was extincted when a new one arose. The country was basically ruled by the Emperors throughout the history with exceptions of the periods of civil wars.

In Japan, the Imperial family was only in charge of the country before 11th century, and the small period after the Meiji Restoration and before WWII ended.

Why wasn't South Carolina upset when part of her land was given to Georgia?
lutik1710 [3]
They lost responsibility for some areas that they felt were hard to manage, so these areas would now be developed but not using their own budget. They were also glad about the fact there were now more settlements between themselves and Spanish Florida, which many in South Carolina viewed as a threat.
