What was the tea of act

History
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard. Parliament responded with a series of harsh measures intended to stifle colonial resistance to British rule; two years later the war began.

What do you think is the best strategy for achieving social change?
Effectus [21]
By not being a social activist. Forcibly pushing an agenda to "change" the views of the people always results in discrimination, hate, and violence. The best way to achieve social change is on a personal level. Forget what is going on the world around you because you cannot change the views of the people around you, you can only change your own views. If you act as an tolerable individual, as a good person, and as a person who believes in treating people as human beings, you will create more of a positive effect than these so called "peaceful" protestors who think it is okay to shut down businesses, institutions, and parades in order to make a point.
