Summarize in your own words.

Answer 1

The passage talks about how, after the Boston Tea Party, the British King and Parliament sent troops to the US to show colonies they can’t simply rebel against them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand the passage, we must remember that the Bostom tea party was the American protest carried out by the Sons of Liberty against the British Empire and their rulership. The event’s name comes from the fact that protestors have thrown the tea from British East India Company into the sea from the ships at Boston Harbor.

The passage talks about the immediate aftermath of the protest and the reaction of the British Empire. It explains how the British Parliament had to react quickly to this outcry and debacle. Britains’ king, George III was angry and sent the troops. They needed to punish Boston and the protestors to show other colonies that they can’t go against the laws the empire has put on them.
