Consider this: If Americans believed they were overtaxed and wanted to retaliate against Parliament, why was there only limited support for the Bostonian's actions in the harbor?
Probably because they needed to keep the group small to avoid suspicion. With a large crowd of supporters, the British may have become aware of their plan. Or, it was just the certain group (the Sons of Liberty) that planned to destroy the tea and told no one of their plans.
