It's true that the British East India Company made a lot of money from tea but also from cotton, silk, indigo dye, saltpetre, and opium. It's also true that they were responsible for some horrific acts, however lets not forget what America's favourite drink was before the British put tax on it, that's right, tea, the only reason coffee is as popular today in America is because tea was so expensive.
To say that we "enslaved the globe" is a rather large exaggeration, but the British East India Tea Company, as I said earlier, did indeed do some terrible things, almost as bad as the white folks of America did when it came to cotton, almost a hundred years after us with the tea industry, you really should have learnt from our mistakes America.
