Why were many american colonists
opposed to the east india tea
company? what did the americans
want instead?

The American colonists were opposed to the East India Tea Company because they did not believe in taxing. Tea was very popular and they hated being taxed on it, along with many other things. They believed taxation was unfair as they did not have a say in British parliament, yet were being taxed. This ties in with the famous saying "taxation without representation".
