The British created the act that closed the port of Boston, known as the Boston Port Act, in response to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, where American colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. This punitive measure was intended to punish the colonists for their defiance and to reassert British authority over the colonies. The closure of the port aimed to cripple Boston's economy and deter further acts of rebellion, but it ultimately fueled colonial resentment and resistance against British rule.
The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts and closed the port of Boston in response to the Boston Tea Party.

The Boston Port Act or Trade Act (one of the Intolerable Acts of 1774) was designed to punish the Massachusetts colony for its protests of British taxes, most notably with the Boston Tea Party of 1773. The act closed the port of Boston through a blockade by the Royal Navy. This was an attempt to coerce the repayment of customs and restitution to the East India Company for their lost revenue, and to re-exert British control of the colonies.
