colonies so that tea agents canceled orders and merchants (купцы) refused to buy
English tea. In December 1773, three British tea-carrying ships arrived in Boston.

boarded the ships, and dumped the tea chests worth thousands of pounds into the
water. In response to this demonstration, the British Parliament passed the series of 6 (PUNISH) measures. Such punishment served only to further unite
the colonies – and soon the War Independence began.
