== Refine Causes ==
The "Causes" section is woefully simple-minded and must be addressed. This would be a ripe opportunity for anyone interested to explore some of the history behind the events that led up to the Revolution and the nuance behind the politics of it. The list doesn't even include the Boston Massacre. It must be noted at the time that the colonists as a group did not disparage the consumption of tea (it was actually a very popular product in the colonies), and the tea party was more of a symbolic gesture than anything.
