Step-by-step explanation:

The taxes for tea, British products and many more taxes imposed a heavy fine for the American economy. The people weren't happy with it, so they revolted and beat up tax collectors to show the British they weren't gonna follow the taxes, instead of replacing the taxes into something more useful, the British sent troops to monitor the Americans.
