Summary
In 1773, the Tea Act allowed the British East India Company to ship tea to the colonies without paying most of the taxes. Now at a disadvantage, colonial merchants called for a new boycott. Enraged, the Boston Sons of Liberty threw chests of tea off British ships in what has become known as the Boston Tea Party. King George III tried to punish the people of Massachusetts with the harsh Coercive Acts that closed Boston Harbor and took away colonists’ rights.
Colonial leaders met in Philadelphia to discuss their opposition to British policy. The Continental Congress, as they called their organization, called on people to arm themselves and form militias to fight the growing British army.
One night in 1775, as redcoats left Boston for Concord, colonial minutemen were able to give advance warning to militias along the way. The first conflicts were in Lexington and Concord.
