Patriots protested the Taxes
James Otis, a Boston lawyer, told everyone they should not pay the taxes until they had someone in Parliament listening to their concerns
“Taxation without representation is tyranny!” is what he proclaimed
After many years of protest, Parliament took most of the taxes away, except for the one on tea.
This still made the Patriots mad enough to storm a ship filled with tea in Boston Harbor and dump the tea into the harbor in protest-
This was called the Boston Tea Party by the British king
