It made the king mad so he closed the port of Boston and sent more troops. This was an economic issue at the heart of it. The British had lowered the taxes on tea ( not raised them) , in doing so they affected the smugglers in the colonies who made a good living from selling at below cost than the shops. When the tea tax was lowered it made the Dutch teas the smugglers sold higher, so this made them mad. Hamilton was one of the biggest smugglers in the colonies so he got his men together to attack the tea ships under the guise of "freedom" from the monopoly of the East India Tea Company who had a lot of control in the British government . If you think about it this makes much more sense than the fable we are told.

What was the loyalist point of view on Boston Tea Party?

If the man who started annoying that one soldier didn't annoy him or stopped annoying him it never would have happened. THIS IS ALL THE COLONISTS FAULT!!!!! Actually, that would be the Boston Massacre... As far as the Tea Party goes, Loyalists were pretty much against it. Popular Loyalist opinion was that the Tea Act would actually drive tea prices down and that the Tea Party would only antagonize the Crown. Which it did and the Crown responded by closing Boston Harbor.
