Best Answer

The King of England actually closed down Boston harbor until the tea was paid off. The expense of the tea was as much as $13 million today. The closure of the harbor caused merchants and others to not be able to pay for food and such. Other colonies worked to keep those merchants and others fed. This was one of the events through which the colonies created unity.

What was the life during the American Revolutionary War?

In the revolutionary war people took sides as either a partiot or as a loyalist. Patriots believed in freedom and no longer wished to be under British rule. While Loyalist felt they had to be loyal to the British king and did not believe in the freedom the patriots had thought of. Thomas Paine had wrote a famous news collom called 'Common Sense' it talked about his beliefs towards the king of Britain and his own as a patriot. Thomas Paine was a patriot and made that very clear, he argued about British rule through 'Common Sense'. Patriots fought in war against the British and the British fought in war to try to keep their rule of America. The Boston tea party was held by patriots when the British refused to stop their taxation toward the colonies for tea. During the Boston tea party patriots snuck on a British ship sending shipping their tea disguised as native Americans and dumped all of the tea into the harbor. You may be wondering why tea was so important to the Americans. It was not the tea that meant so much. But, It was the overall fact of taxing the Americas for their goods that really bothered them. Patriots had won the war on the 4th of July. This would be a good topic to do some research on because this is a topic that reaches far more than what I can tell you!


Okay i need this for school What are some challenges the loyalist face during the 1790's?

I'm in 6th grade and i just studied this... The patriots did a lot of things, including Boycotting. They specifically boycotted during the Tea and Stamp Act. (Boycotting is when someone refuses to buy something). The Patriots would also write propaganda about the loyalists, while some of the information was way over dramatic, to make the loyalist look bad, and to make Neutralists go to the Patriots side, instead of joining Britain, and to make the colonies angry at britain.

What is a loyalist and patriot?

A loyalist was considered a person from the colonies that didn't want to break away from England. Their reasons for not wanting to varied, but for most of them it was #1 fear of the British government #2 the protection and benefits from England.A patriot on the other hand, was a person that dissagreed with taxes on tea. You see, the British needed money after the revolutionary war to keep the army together. In order to get this money, they put taxes on things. The patriots didn't like it, so the British agreed to take taxes off everything except tea. The patriots wanted more! Eventually, it wasn't just taxes the patriots hated. They decided they didn't want to be at all a part of England. That was their belief.Hope this helps.
