Colonists had to buy a stamp or seal for paper items and legal documents such as a license, newspapers and playing cards.
The Intolerable Acts 1774
A British soldier had struck a colonist who had been arguing with the soldier which led to a crowd throwing snowballs at the soldier. The redcoats were frustrated and scared so they started randomly shooting down colonists killing 5.
The colonists didn't like the taxes so by rebelling they put $4,000,000 worth of tea into the Boston Harbor.
As a response to the Boston Tea Party the British destroyed the economy by enforcing martial law, closing down the legislature, closing the Boston Harbor, closing courts, and banning town meetings.
