History

One of the most contentious issues was the Tea Act of 1773. This act granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. This meant that the East India Company could sell tea directly to the colonies and bypass colonial merchants. While the tea itself was not heavily taxed, the colonists saw it as a symbol of British oppression and a threat to their economic interests.
