What is The Tea Act?
the act to allow taxes on exportation of tea to the american colonies to increase sales. Basically England needs money.
Slogan of the Tea Act
Tea should never be free
What does that interpret
We are basically saying that every box of tea that you buy and ship is going to get taxed
Why?
You are probably saying why are you taxing this well because you get all that awesome land over there you are probably going to get a lot of money. The Tea tax shouldn't make a difference you just have to pay more money than you used too nothing too different. You have a lot of tea leaves over there so why worry? You also owe us money from the war. If we hadn't sent troops your way you would all be dead.
