During the British blockade of Boston in the lead-up to the American Revolutionary War, the city coped by relying on smuggling and the support of local networks. Residents organized to bring in supplies through clandestine means, utilizing the coastline and surrounding areas to bypass British patrols. Additionally, the community rallied together, sharing resources and information to sustain themselves amidst shortages. This resilience helped maintain morale and fostered a spirit of resistance against British authority.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗳 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗿 Let's start with what the blockade of the Boston Harbor is. The blockade of Boston Harbor is a law made by the parliament. The blockade of the Boston Harbor is one of The Coercive (Intolerable) Acts. The Coercive Acts was mainly caused by the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party is when 30 - 130 colonists dressed up as Indians and protested the tea taxes from the Townshend Acts. The colonists dumped 46 tons into the water. All because this happened the parliament put a Coercive Act. 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 Britain's blockade of the Boston Harbor affected the trade in Boston by isolating shipments from the Boston Harbor. Boston was now only relying on merchant trades to not perish. Merchant trades can not be fully relied on therefore it hurt Boston greatly.

Boston Blockade or Intolerable Acts if I am correct.
True. The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, included measures such as the Boston Port Act, which specifically called for the blockade of Boston Harbor until the tea destroyed during the Boston Tea Party was paid for. This was intended to punish Massachusetts for the tea party and to assert British authority over the colonies.
Not sure, But I believe its that they had an American naval blockade..
there was a trade blockade during the Revolution and they blockaded Boston harbor meaning nothing could go in or out or......... a trade blockade is when a port or important place for trade is blocked so noting can come in to it (be imported) or nothing can come out of it(be exported) so you would have to grow all your food and have evrything you needed to survive.
they put up a Blockade. The blockade stopped us from getting in.
someone else asked a similar question and the response was 1774 no it was a blockade of the harbor
