A Tax on Tea Click here

The King of England knew that the colonists were angry. He wanted them to calm down. He decided to take away all the taxes except one. He kept the tax on tea. Tea was a very popular drink in England and America. This made the colonists even more angry. Many colonists felt that England kept this tax just to show them who was in charge. The colonists did not want England\'s tea. In some cities, they did not let English ships into the harbors. Those ships sailed back to England with their tea. The governor of Massachusetts said that the colonists had to obey the king. He sent a message to the angry colonists in Boston. He said that English ships would be allowed to come into the harbor. The English tea would be unloaded there.
