Americans love their tea, they drank it all day. But when Britain tried to collect a tax on tea the colonists were extremely angry. To show their anger, the sons of liberty dumped all the tea into the Boston harbor when three ships brought a new supply.
The cause of the Intolerable Acts was King George was furious about the Boston Tea Party and closed the harbor and took away their self government until all the tea was paid for.
The effect was these acts just stirred up more british hating feelings. Now people in all 13 colonies were angry.
The cause of the Boston Tea Party was the colonists didn't want taxed tea.
The effect was the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Mohawk Indians and dumped all the tea of three ships when they brought a new supply to the colonists.
