In 1772 the British had about 18,000 pounds of unsold British tea. So in 1773 the British made a law to pay tax on the British tea. The east India company was selling tea at a price that was lower than the price smuggled in from supply ships. But their was still a tax on the tea that the east India company. The British thought that the american colonists  would be happy to drink tea at a smaller price. Instead they got angry because they thought the British was tricking them to pay the tax on the tea. Chapter 5: Samuel Adams thought that if the american colonists payed the tax he thought that the British was telling the american colonists  what to do. So he told them that they could stand up and tell what laws were unfair. After the tea party passed on in 1773. Samuel saw that there were 3 ships loaded with tea that was heading for Boston. He knew that if the Americans paid the tax at Boston then it would be like the British had a right to tax them. So Samuel Adams wrote a letter about the tax on tea wasn't fair. He sent the letter to Thomas Hutchinson who was also loyal to king George the third. But the king paid no attention to Samuel. Chapter 6: So Samuel had a plan to stop the Boston tea trade. He would try and force the agents to quit their jobs. Now along the Atlantic ocean the american colonist forced other agents to quit their jobs. Now some of the supply ships full of tea were now headed for England or stored away somewhere. To make things better Samuel wanted some agents to quit in front of a lot of  people. If they could do that in the public the american colonists would have more power over the British. Adams put up some posters around the town for people to see the agents quit in public when the crowd showed up the agents never showed up. So the crowd got angry about the agents never showing up. So Samuel  spent some weeks telling speeches against the British a lot of the american colonists agreed what Samuel said.]]> 2018-01-16 17:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dostwald1/eem22aatlk6p/wish/221802516 https://padlet.com/dostwald1/eem22aatlk6p/wish/221802754  In  America it was illegal after  1770 to  bring tea.

Parliament made it legal to sell tea at a lower price than the smuggled tea but still with tax. The colonists did not have a great reaction to this. Samuel Adams thought the Colonists were letting the British tell them what to do. He also told them that they could change unrighteous laws. He organized The Sons of Liberty, who are responsible for the Boston Tea Party. After the war he became the governor of Massachusetts in 1793. In 1773 Samuel Adams finds out that three ships loaded with tea and immediately sent a letter to the governor Thomas Hutchinson to warn him of the unrightful taxation that the British were about to force on the colonists. The governor was a tory and ignored him. Thomas Hutchinson served as governor from 1771 to 1774, he was replaced for his inability to contain the colonists. Samuel Adams and other colonists got tea agents to quit there jobs, and tea shipment were returned to England. Samuel made posters to get people to come see the agents quit. The tea agents did no show, the colonists were mad. Samuel then spent the upcoming weeks speaking protests against the British parliament.
