To Whom did the Boston Tea Party/Tea Act effect? The Boston Tea Party effected the Americans.

What happened during the Tea Act? In 1773 Parliament passed the Tea Act. The Tea Act gave the English East India Company a chance to gain money. By being granted a monopoly on the imported teas into the colonies the English East India Company reversed its lack of business. The new rules allowed the company to sell tea to the colonists at a low price, even lower than the price of smuggled tea, but still including the required duty. The British reasoned that the Americans would willingly pay the tax if the price of the tea was lowered.

Where did The Boston Tea Party take place? The Boston Tea Party took place at the Boston Harbor.

Why did The Boston Tea Party/Tea Act happen and what was the outcome? The Boston Tea Party/Tea Act happened because the government put a tax on tea but all other duties were repealed because of protests. The outcome of the Boston Tea Party/Tea Act was that the colonists, disguised as American Indians, snuck onto three tea filled ships at the Boston Harbor and threw 342 tea chests overboard. Soon the word spread that the Boston Harbor was a “Teapot” that night.
