From the Paper:

"The purpose of this research is to examine the events and issues surrounding the Boston Tea Party. The plan of the research will be to set forth the overall chronology of issues that emerged and established the political context in which the Tea Party could take place, and then to discuss the impact of the incident on the colonies, in particular the British responses that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War.

An appropriate understanding of the importance of the Boston Tea Party cannot be obtained without an understanding of the issues and events that preceded it. The Party, which occurred in 1773, actually had its origins several years earlier, in the wake of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. In 1766, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which provided for "billeting, provisioning and discipline of British forces . . ."
