History lesson as a reminder. The Sons of Liberty tossed various products (A lot of tea), into the Boston Harbor because of increased taxes by Britain (taxation without representation).
The reason they were so frustrated was because of the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act required that printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper provided by Britain. Colonists viewed the act as a violation of their rights to not be taxed without their consent. Britain came over here to teach us a lesson about being rebellious (The Tea Party), and they were introduced to General George Washington. The rest is...wait for it...history.
