Great Britain took action against Massachusetts because most of the revolts, rebellions, and voices were erupting from here. For example, after the Tea Act was imposed citizens of Boston dressed as Native Americans and dumped tea over ships in the Boston Harbor. By punishing the main force, Great Britain hoped to suppress the acts of protest and scare the other colonies into silence and obedience.
