They hated the rule of paying taxes to get some tea (which was very popular back then). They wanted to get tea for something to drink. It was not fair that the British got tea for free. They were so mad that they went on British boats in disguise as Indians. They threw tea off the boats. This is now known as the British Tea Party. The colonists hated the Stamp Act. They were furious. They protested until the Stamp Act was repealed]]> 2017-05-30 18:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/475002/q6cczamt1xwv/wish/174482311 475002 https://padlet.com/475002/q6cczamt1xwv/wish/174482905   The British government imposed taxes for every day things.
