The sons and daughters of liberty were opposing the rules of the British parliament. They placed taxes on everything! This angered our Founding Fathers so they boycotted ALL British goods. For tea they used coffee. This made British trade very poor. Therefore the British Parliament took taxes off of everything but tea! This led to the Boston Tea Party. Later came the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. He knew the British soldiers were here because there would be 2 lamps on the church f they came by sea and 1 if they came by land. The minute men met the soldiers at Concord and that's when the Revolutionary war began. Exciting right?
Because the only way (back then) to process and make sugar farms was through manual labor. Since the Americans didn't want to put effort onto their own sugar farms, Africans were forced to do the labor part for them.
