Hancock paid and organized it and had Samuel Adams organize the men.They didn't dress up. This is part of the fable. The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.
With the aim of punishing rebellious colonists for the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed a series of laws known as the Coercive Acts in 1774.

Intolerable act
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 Coercive Acts

The boston tea party led to the intolerable act because the colonist when on the britist boat that had tea and the colonist throw the tea off board. the britist couldn't do anything the goverment was the only one who could stop the colonist. later when the goverment found out they had to punish them so they passed the intolerable acts with means british soilers could come in colonist home for free and colonist could do nothing.
In the spring of 1774, parliament passed yet another set of laws, this time to punish the colonist for the troubles in Boston and elsewhere.
