Question

Eddie

Eddie is a wealthy tea merchant in Boston. Eddie’s goal in life is to make money and he doesn’t care if he violates the law. Since the Townshend Acts placed a tax on tea, Eddie has been illegally importing tea from the Dutch. His ships frequently have to hide from the British navy and British customs officials who can board his ships whenever they please. Recently he was caught smuggling in tea, but fortunately he was able to buy off the official with a large sum of money. Friends have informed Eddie that the Royal Governor of Massachusetts has issued an arrest warrant for him, and friends advise him to go into hiding.
