Answer:
In an effort to save the troubled enterprise, the British Parliament passed the Tea Act in 1773. The act granted the company the right to ship its tea directly to the colonies without first landing it in England, and to commission agents who would have the sole right to sell tea in the colonies. Which therefore led to the Boston Tea Party.
THE ANSWER:
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.

· The Boston Massacre (In which Redcoat troops fired into a crowd of sailors, when one redcoat soldier was knocked over.... (some believe it was an accident others think it was on purpose; its debatable)
Hope its one of these!
