The intolerable acts. They closed the harbor and passed many other taxes.
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by the Boston colonists. Boston a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the Great Britain Government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.
The Coercive Acts, passed in 1774, were designed to punish the Bostonians by closing the port until they paid for the tea they destroyed. These acts also took away Massachusetts's charter as a colony and made it harder to punish anyone in England's royal offices of crime. The Quebec Act of that same year took away colonial land and was one of the main causes of the Revolutionary War.
The colonists were responsible for the Boston tea party.
