The harbor that was closed was Boston Harbor, following the Boston Tea Party in 1773. This action was part of the Intolerable Acts, which aimed to punish the Massachusetts colony for its resistance to British authority. As a result, Massachusetts came under greater British control, leading to increased tensions that eventually contributed to the American Revolution.
The British enacted the Boston Port Act in 1774 as a punitive measure following the Boston Tea Party, where American colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. The act aimed to close the harbor until the East India Company was compensated for the destroyed tea, thereby exerting control and asserting British authority over the increasingly defiant colonies. This measure was part of the broader Coercive Acts, intended to quell colonial unrest but ultimately fueled further resistance and unity among the colonies against British rule.
Georgia was a buffer to protect England's colonies from Spain and France, whose colonies in Florida and Louisiana, respectively, were very close to Georgia and England's other colonies in the South.
The King got mad because of the Boston Tea Party and it was punishment.
The Netherlands was invaded by Napoleon and lost temporary control of all her colonies and the British took advantage of the situation going on and took control of Cape Colony/South Africa to prevent it from falling to France. They gave South Africaback to the Dutch East India Company but they were declared bankrupt afterwards soBritain annexed Cape Colony and expanded to the North by fighting wars with Native Africans and the Boers.
Me
no, in 1774
Boston Tea Party
the Boston tea party
what is the cause for the british to close the bosten harbor and to station troops in the city?
someone else asked a similar question and the response was 1774 no it was a blockade of the harbor
because of its close economic ties with the British West Indies
Georgia served as the British Penal colony but settlers in the Carolinas were becoming anxious about them being so close and because Georgia had great farm land so the penal colony did not last long before it was moved to Australia, an island penal colony.
the british dead!
