The port of Boston was closed for weeks after the tea party in 1773, due to the bad smell that caused the large amount of tea poured into the port.

This was followed by the Intolerable Laws of 1774, which is known as the Boston Harbor Law.

The intolerable acts outraged, and more unified the American settlers against the British government.

The answer is: 1. The Boston massacre.
