There were laws passed that forced residents to house British soldiers in their private homes. Also, the Port of Boston was closed until the citizens paid for the 600,000 pounds of tea that were dumped into the harbor were paid for. However, it was only a small group of people that actually participated in the protest. The laws were created with the intention of punishing all of Boston, and making an example out of them.
