what effect did the boston tea party have on the colonists in boston
The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16, 1773. The Boston Tea Party happened in 3 British ships in the Boston Harbor. The Boston Tea Party took place because the colonists did not want to have to pay taxes on the British tea. They were afraid that Britian would take over America, and they wanted to rule their own country. They thought that the tea would put all of the colonists out of buisness. The effect of the Boston Tea Party was that the British passed the Intolerable acts, which were very harsh and cruel to the people of Boston. Maier, Pauline.
