What is the BEST main idea of the selection?
Colonists are upset when they can’t send the tea back, so they give in and pay the taxes.
The King is putting unfair taxes on the Colonists. The Colonists decide to fight back by dumping tea into the harbor after they notice the King has sent them rotten tea.
Because the tea cannot be sent back to England, Colonists decide to dump it all in the harbor. As punishment, the King closes Boston Harbor.
Loyalists among the Colonists call them a race of convicts, because the Colonists are behaving like savages.

What is the BEST summary of this selection?
Under threat of violence, the British government tries to force the Colonists to accept the tea and pay the tax. In response, the Colonists, disguised as members of the Mohawk tribe, dump over 300 crates of tea into the Harbor. Their punishment is that the King closes Boston Harbor, cutting the Colonists off from all imports and exports
The American Colonists made many enemies by acting as a “race of convicts”, refusing to pay taxes, and offending the King. In response, they were left with only rotten tea to drink and heavy taxes to pay.
Taxation without representation was a big problem for the Colonists, but they stayed true to their beliefs and refused to pay tariffs without fair representation in the decisions, ultimately dumping British tea into the Harbor.
Because the American Colonists weren’t available when taxation votes happened, they were stuck paying taxes that they did not agree with. This caused great unrest in the Colonies, as families were left without important products, like clothing and tea. This was made worse when the King closed Boston Harbor completely, which kept the Colonists from exporting or importing goods and supplies.
