In relation to the significant laws/acts of this time, the British crossed the line when they passed the Tea Act. This law gave only the British the power to sell tea in the colonies. American colonists who sold tea lost money. These merchants joined with the British. The colonists began to revolt against the British. The earned the British's attention when they boarded British ships and threw the tea into the water. To retaliate and assert their power, the British passed the Coercive Acts. This of course, elevated the already tense situation. The Boston port was closed until the colonists paid the bill for the destroyed tea. Next, the Quebec Act came along. Boston was financially cut off, and the radicals went to work, damaging the British image and fueling the fire.

like sugar, apples, wool, indigo and tobacco were also limited. Colonists only allowed to send those goods to Britain or the British Isles. Although the colonist participation was held to a minimum, they had learned a powerful lesson from the French and Indian War. They realized that they could fight and win. They learned that they did possess some power. But although the colonists started in good ties with the British, they would soon realize that there were numerous differences between these two powers.
