Question

What reason did the American colonists have for protesting the tea tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tea tax infuriated the colonists in America. They thought the Tea Act was a ruse to win colonial support for a tax that was already in place. The direct selling of tea to the American colonies by agents of the British East India Company undermined the business of colonial merchants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Great Britain was charging the Americans too much money in taxes and the prices for everything that came from England kept on increasing.
