How did Boston feel about the Boston Tea Party?

Answer 1

The result of the Tea Party was a complete shut down of the harbor. This meant that no goods came in and nothing went out. Troop levels were also increased and the city of Boston was under siege. When the war started the siege of Boston took it's toll. There was a shortage of food, wood ( church pews, barns, ships, trees were burned to keep homes warm). and other things were needed by the population. The British army was settled into Boston and it stayed this way until Lexington and Concord. This happen April 19 and in June the Battle of Bunker Hill took place. When Bunker Hill happened firewood was selling for 20.00 a cord and the population of Boston fled. There were only about 4,000 civilians under siege and at least half were women and children. Food remain scarce and dear. Even horse meat was bought at high prices and the troops plundered what they could find. Washington took command of the Americans on July 3. When the king heard of the outcome of Bunker Hill he stated "We must persist." The next major event in Boston will be the bombardment of Dorchester Heights by the British.
