What cause the Boston tea party?

Answer 1

The closing of the harbor of Boston and the addition of troops into the Boston area. This upset the colonist and they began to collect arms/gunpowder in the smaller towns outside of Boston. The British got wind of this and began to try to stop the weapons from getting to the colonist. On April 19, 1775 British troops came ashore in Charles town to begin to go the 20 miles to Lexington and Concord to find the ammo and guns that were stored there. This resulted in the battles of Lexington and Concord. At Lexington a number of colonist were killed and houses burned by the time the troops reached Concord colonist came from all over the area to fight them. They met at the Bridge of Concord and were fired upon all the way back to Boston, but it won't be until 1776 that the war will really start when the colonies declared themselves free of the King.

Answer 2
