Erin Williams Fire 10/5/09  __How Did the Boston Tea Party impact the Beginning of the Revolutionary War?__ I believe the Boston Tea Party impacted the Revolutionary War because the colonists were getting agitated and sick of the taxes. The British were making ridiculous taxes. They were making these taxes because they had to pay costs of the French and Indian War, so they decided to make money off the colonists by taxing them. They also taxed them because they wanted to gain more power over the colonists. This made the colonists mad because the colonists needed the tea and when they started to tax it that angered the colonists because the British were making money. The Boston Tea Party was in my mind one of the reasons of the Revolutionary War. The British were taxing the colonists so they could pay off costs of War and gain more power. In 1763 after the war the British needed the money so King George the third and his government decided to tax them. During the war the colonists became freer, so the British thought that if they tax them they would gain more power over them. To gain more power they wrote the Stamp Act and the Townsend Acts during this time. The British needed money and wanted more power so they used the colonists.
