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.
The Coercive Acts of 1774, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were primarily a response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773, where American colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. In reaction to this act of defiance, the British Parliament aimed to restore order and assert control over the colonies by enacting punitive measures. These included closing Boston Harbor, altering the Massachusetts charter, and allowing British troops to be quartered in private homes. The Coercive Acts intensified colonial resentment toward British rule and united the colonies in opposition to perceived tyranny.
Two significant events that heightened tensions between the British Parliament and the American colonists in Boston were the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The Boston Massacre resulted in the death of five colonists at the hands of British soldiers, igniting outrage and resentment against British authority. The Boston Tea Party, a protest against the Tea Act, involved colonists dumping British tea into Boston Harbor, leading Parliament to impose punitive measures through the Coercive Acts, further escalating conflict.
The Intolerable Acts were meant to be a punishment for the actions of dumping tear into the Boston harbor during the Boston Tea Party. The British Parliament passed these acts (calling them the Coercive Acts) which took away self-government and historic rights from Massachusetts and caused massive outrage and opposition in the Thirteen Colonies. The acts were foundation to the beginning of the American Revolution in 1775.
This legislation's purpose was to restore order in Massachusetts, following the Boston Tea Party and other acts of defiance.
the Americans pored tea in the riveractually that is not true the Americans dumping the tea into the Boston harbor left the result of the Boston tea party not the battle of Yorktown.
The Boston Tea Party was sparked by colonial resistance to the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies while retaining a tax on tea, angering colonists who opposed taxation without representation. In response to the protest, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor, the British Parliament enacted the Coercive Acts (also known as the Intolerable Acts) in 1774, aiming to punish Massachusetts and restore order, but this further escalated tensions and contributed to the American Revolution.
