The British thought that the colonist would help pay off their debt. The British did all these taxes, which is a different topic. But anyway the British took away the taxes on everything except on tea. This law also said that the colonist could only buy tea from the British’s tea company called, British East India Company. The colonist could not take any more, so Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere met up in the long room in Benjamin Edes’s Print Shop. They called this room The Long Room Club. They talked about ways to rebel against the British and their horrible taxes. The colonists met at the meetinghouse. Many men dressed up as Indians. These men got on the British tea ship. After they got on board they opened hundreds of boxes of tea. Then they poured 90,000 pounds of tea into the sea. Submitted by: Shaylee Jones
