in '72, i think about 40% of all the tea that came to north america was british tea, brought here by private merchants. 40% of that was just coming to boston. and that says that patriots had to have been anxious about getting people to subscribe to these political ideas they had about consuming things, because obviously, lots of people didn't subscribe to these ideas, and they demonstrated that every day when they bought consumer goods they weren't supposed to buy. and the arrival of this india company tea presented the possibility of being a final blow and pushing bostonians into more broadly accepting this arrangement. so, particularly around the tea tax, which we probably all know, this text that parliament was putting on tea, had been in place for years, there was no real concern about establishing a precedent of the text being in place, it had been in place for half a decade already, and bostonians had been paying it. but the other problem that patriots had was this issue of consent, so, if you don't consent or you don't want to pay this tea tax, there is a great way to do it, j
