Boston Tea Party
the Boston tea party
Gen. William Howe ferried his troops across the Boston harbor. It took the British nearly six hours to organize the assault and ferry their men across Boston Harbor, but were held up by the lack of boats.
The king closed the harbor and brought in more troops.
what is the cause for the british to close the bosten harbor and to station troops in the city?
Britain did send warships and troops to block the Boston Harbor in 1768 because King George the Third wanted the patronism to stop in Boston because there were murders breaking out such as the Boston Massacre.
The King closed the harbor because of the Boston tea party. One observer watched the British man of war ships come into the harbor and commented that “ there were so many it looked like London was arriving.” The king sent over 2000 troops into Boston.
The siege of Boston ended with the British troops evacuating the city. They had to wait in Boston Harbor for a number of days for the wind to be favorable enough to set sail out of the Harbor.
There was no Tea Party Act, but there was a response from the king. He sent more troops to Boston and closed the port. One observer wrote that he thought “the whole of London “ was coming into Boston. There were 2,000 British men of war full of troops entering Boston Harbor.
Boston Harbor is in Massachusetts, and the capital's BOSTON.
