Section 3
From Protest to Revolution
The Tea Act of 1773
British Parliament tried to help the British East India Company by
passing a law that allowed the British East India Co. to sell tea
directly to the citizens, cutting out the “middle man” who were the
colonial tea merchants. The law also kept the tax on tea.
Tea Merchants
East India Company
Customers
Cutting out the Tea Merchants
would let the British East
India Company sell their tea
to the customers for a lower
price, even with the tax.
This should have made the
colonists happy because the
price was lower.

Instead, the colonists responded to the Tea Act with
another boycott. They switched to drinking tea made
from raspberry leaves instead of tea leaves. They nicknamed it “Liberty Tea”.

Punishing Massachusetts (Boston)
The Intolerable Acts
1. The port of Boston was shut down. No ships in or
out until the tea was paid for.
2. No more than one town meeting (like the Sons of
Liberty) a year without the Governor’s permission.
3. British customs officers and soldiers accused of a
crime could leave the colonies to have a trial back
in Britain or in Canada.
4. New Quartering Act which required colonists to
pay for barracks (housing) for the soldiers or allow
them to stay in their homes until housing was
available.

When other colonies heard what was happening to Boston,
they helped out. South Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania
sent food. Virginia also set aside a day to recognize the
people in Boston and the shame of the Intolerable Acts.
The First Continental Congress
In September of 1774 colonial leaders met in Philadelphia to
decide what to do about the Intolerable Acts and the taxation
without representation. The meeting was called the First
Continental Congress.

More soldiers were sent from England to Massachusetts. They

Within a day if not within hours, the news of the battles at
Lexington and Concord spread throughout the colonies.
The news also spread quickly across the Atlantic Ocean
back to England and the rest of Britain and eventually
around the world. That is why it is called the “shot heard
‘round the world”.
