"Now we have all of this tea that can be taxed on the colonists."
Colonists find the Tea
"We need to get all of the tea into the harbor"
The Blockade
NO IMPORTING OR EXPORTING!
The crates of tea had just arrived from the British East India Company
The colonists dressed up as Mohawk Indians so maybe the British wouldn't catch them. They started dumping tons of crates that were filled with tea into the harbor.
The British were upset and set the blockade which controlled the harbor and what goods could be docked or unloaded.
