HISTORICALLY YOURS
Before our independence, American colonists were British subjects—just separated physically from Great Britain by an ocean. This worked fairly well until the British Parliament passed the Tea Act on May 10, 1773. This Act gave the East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies and included a tax on tea. To the colonists, this was taxation without representation and an attempt to control their economy. On the night of December 16, 1773, members of the Sons of Liberty expressed their displeasure by boarding three ships in Boston Harbor and dumping 342 chests of tea overboard. This amounted to 92,000 pounds of tea.
