Explanation:

In 1776, the United States gained its independence by signing a declaration on July 4 that freed the 13 colonies from English rule. England overcame France in the Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763), but faced with the high costs of maintaining the conquered territories, imposed a series of taxes on the American colony. These include the Sugar Law (collection of taxes on sugar that did not come from the English Antilles), Stamp Act (all documents originating in the colony, such as contracts, newspapers and crafts, would receive a British Crown seal) and Tea (the settlers could only buy tea, then monopolized by the East India Company, from English merchants). In the face of all these laws, revolts originated. One of them, against the Tea Law, was the "Boston Tea Party."

After England imposed the new taxes, the settlers reacted. They boycotted the "Townshend Act" (which prevented Americans from negotiating with countries other than England), which further aggravated the situation. In 1773, American settlers, disguised as Indians, mingled with the dock workers in Boston, and threw the entire shipment of Indian Company tea (45 tons) into the sea. This boycott was organized by the pro-independence group entitled "The Children of Freedom." Following the boycott, the British government severely punished Boston's inhabitants by shutting down the city's port and delegating to the military the right to occupy civilian homes.
