Tea Act
One of the most controversial decrees made by the British Empire in all of American History was the Tea Act. It was an act established on 1773 by the British Parliament that stated that the East Indian Company would have to cruise directly to the American colonies to export their tea instead of going first to Britain and then export it again to the same colonies. -
