King George III really needs to be slapped across the face. No, really. He thinks this new Tea act will solve EVERYTHING. No, it won't. It'll only solve Britain's problems, by earning them more tax money. If The British East India Company can sell directly to colonists, then their cheap tea will put local stores out of business.
Thankfully, the first shipment has arrived, but I'm not thankful over that. I'm thankful that the Sons of Liberty have told them to leave. However, the governor of Mass. won't let them leave without paying the duty, causing the ships to be forced to wait in the harbor.
