The British in the 1760's was mad at the colonist for dressing up as Indian's to attend the Tea Party. Later, when the British found out, they put the intolerable acts out. The intolerable acts required all colonist to pay a tax on tea. That's when Great Britain decided they wanted more control over the colonies.
