After the Boston Tea Party, Great Britain punished Boston by completely stoping the flow of imported goods into Boston until they had payed for all the tea they had dumped into the harbor. This was one of the coercive acts better known as the intolerable acts.

It was the British's response to the Boston Tea Party. No ships could go in or get out unless the damage was paid for by the colonies. This was part of the Intolerable/Coercive Acts, which included the Quartering Act, canceling of the royal charter, and General Thomas Gage became the new governor.

The Boston Tea Party angered the British. Parliament then passed a law blocking Boston from the outside world and not allowing trade in Boston with other countries.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗳 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗿 Let's start with what the blockade of the Boston Harbor is. The blockade of Boston Harbor is a law made by the parliament. The blockade of the Boston Harbor is one of The Coercive (Intolerable) Acts. The Coercive Acts was mainly caused by the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party is when 30 - 130 colonists dressed up as Indians and protested the tea taxes from the Townshend Acts. The colonists dumped 46 tons into the water. All because this happened the parliament put a Coercive Act. 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 Britain's blockade of the Boston Harbor affected the trade in Boston by isolating shipments from the Boston Harbor. Boston was now only relying on merchant trades to not perish. Merchant trades can not be fully relied on therefore it hurt Boston greatly.
