Kenneth, before we book the walking tour in Boston, can we check what it actually covers?
Kenneth
Sure, Sandra. I’m pretty sure it focuses on the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and the events leading up to the American Revolution.
Sandra
Right. The tour description says the protest happened because American colonists opposed the British tax on tea, but I’d like the fuller explanation.
Kenneth
As far as I understand, the colonists were also angry because they had no representatives in the British Parliament.
Sandra
That’s correct, Kenneth. The Tea Act itself didn’t simply raise the price of tea; it gave the East India Company an advantage.
