What cause the Boston tea party?
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.

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.

What were the Boston massacre and Boston tea party?
Both were Colonial American Acts against the british that lead up to The American Revolution. The Boston Massacre occured when a group of colonials were taunting and throwing rocks at a group of british soldiers in boston. The colonials present were drunk, and one of them walked up to a soldier and hit him with a club. The soldier he hit shot him. After that, the other soldiers started firing. Part of the reson may have been that the colonials were taunting the soldiers to "fire!", and the soldiers may have thought that was a command from their officer. The Boston Tea Party was another act. The colonials were angry with the new British tax on tea, so they dressed up like Native Americans and went aboard British ships and dumped countless of tea chests into Boston Harbor. There is an estimated amount of 350 tea chests dumped into the harbor.

What is 2 if by sea?
"One if by land. Two if by sea." This phrase gained its fame at the start of the American Revolution. The infamous Sons of Liberty had been smuggling amunition to a location in Concord, north of Boston in preparation for war with the British. The Sons of Liberty new that the British were on to them and were planning to raid the Patriot stash in Concord, so they were spying on the Red Coats to let the Patriots north of Boston know how the British troops would travel. In the tower of the Old North Church, the Patriots would place a one lantern if the troops were marching out of Boston. They would place two laterns if the troops climbed aboard boats to cross the harbor and start their march at Cambridge toward Concord. The British did indeed take the sea route...and thus the famous phrase.
