Was the Boston tea party a turning point in the relationship between the british and the colonists?

The Boston tea party served notice on the British that the American colonists were fed up with the continually increasing number of commodities that the British were levying taxes on. The British required the colonists to buy many things from them, the British. The Americans had been happy to bypass buying tea from the British, and instead bought tea from various American smugglers at a very lower cost. The British finally caught on to this and blocked the smugglers' ships, forcing the colonists to again purchase from the British. It didn't take long for the Sons of Liberty to set up a protest, posing as Huron Indians . . . this was the Boston tea party, which involved dumping bales of British tea into Boston Harbor.


What British act served to strain British relations with the United states?

The Sugar Act was one, which forced colonists to pay a tax on any sugar or molasses not purchased from Britain.

There were other taxes and acts, but I don't think any of them served to improve relations.
