It was a revolt about being taxed by the British for goods imported to the colonies.

Simple. It was a symbol of true partiotism..making a stand against a powerful governing body to say that it's not ok to keep going the way things are going. You'll hear the word patriotism used alot nowadays..and unfortunately, there are no real patriots left. 99.9% of the US population are monkeys for the the assumed security of a system that is failing.

Helping you out with your homework huh? Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.
The impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country. The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government. It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch. It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

NOTHING

The British East India Company had controlled all tea trading between India and the British colonies. As a result of the tea tax, the colonies refused to buy the British tea. Instead, they smuggled tea in from Holland. This left the British East India Company with warehouses full of unsold tea, and the company was in danger of going out of business.
The British government was determined to prevent the British East India Company from going out of business. It was going to force the colonists to buy their tea. In May 1773, Prime Minister North and the British parliament passed the Tea Act. The Tea Act allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonists, bypassing the colonial wholesale merchants. This allowed the company to sell their tea cheaper than the colonial merchants who were selling smuggled tea from Holland.

This act revived the colonial issue of taxation without representation. The colonies once again demanded that the British government remove the tax on tea. In addition, the dockworkers began refusing to unload the tea from ships.

The Governor of Massachusetts demanded that the tea be unloaded. He also demanded that the people pay the taxes and duty on tea.

Bottom line - It paved the way for Starbucks!!!!

The Americans wanted to make a point. They didn't like the king telling them what to do. They came over here for Independence, so they were actually staging a demonstration.
Not any different from today. No taxation without representation!
