Explanation:

To favor the East India Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, the British government granted the company a monopoly on the sale of tea to the American colonies. The settlers had the same British tea habit.  As in England, the price of the drink was falling, making it increasingly popular. With the monopoly of tea supply in the hands of a company, prices would naturally rise. The reaction of the settlers to the law was at least original.

First, the population sought to replace tea with coffee and chocolate to escape the monopoly. Also, on the night of December 16, 1773, 150 undercover settlers of Indians attacked 3 ships in Boston Harbor and threw tea overboard. It was the Boston Tea Party. About 340 boxes of tea were hurled overboard.

The reaction of the English Parliament was strong. Several laws were enacted that Americans have come to call it "intolerable acts." The best known of them prohibited Boston Harbor until the damage caused by settlers. The Massachusetts colony was transformed into a royal colony, which lent great powers to its governor. The right to meetings was restricted. England showed that it would not tolerate opposition to its laws. Instead of the expected submission of the colonies, England succeeding with these measures only encourage the independence process.

What were the values of the middle class? How did they differ from the values of those above and below them on the socioeconomic
masha68 [24]

The creation of distinctive classes in the North drove striking new cultural developments. Even among the wealthy elites, northern business families, who had mainly inherited their money, distanced themselves from the newly wealthy manufacturing leaders. Regardless of how they had earned their money, however, the elite lived and socialized apart from members of the growing middle class. The middle class valued work, consumption, and education and dedicated their energies to maintaining or advancing their social status. Wage workers formed their own society in industrial cities and mill villages, though lack of money and long working hours effectively prevented the working class from consuming the fruits of their labor, educating their children, or advancing up the economic ladder.
