Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tea Act gave the British East India Company a monopoly on the sale of tea in the American colonies, meaning that they were the only company allowed to sell tea to the colonists. This led to anger and protests from American colonists who believed it was an attempt to force them to pay more for tea and to accept British authority over trade. The tax on tea was not repealed and there was no indication of Parliament's willingness to give the colonies more of a voice in trade regulation. The price of tea did increase due to the monopoly, but it was not limited only to the upper classes.
