 * BOSTON **** TEA PARTY. ** Britain forced colonists to pay taxes on their tea and forced them to purchase all of their tea from the British East India Company. As a protest, the Sons of Liberty dumped good tea in the water. //What do you think about their act of throwing tea in the water?// Do you think that they should have done that? (Why or Why not?) What would you do if a law was passed that you disagreed with?

The Sons of Liberty chose a very risky way to protest, by throwing the tea into the water. They could've chose a different way to protest, but I think they were out of choices and picked the best choice that will get the Brittish attetion. The British weren't smart enough to actually pick up that the Sons of Liberty were going to do something worse.
