Question

____ and anger over British taxes led to the ______ during which the colonists threw tea into Boston Harbor. The British responded with the ________

1. Tea act, Stamp act, or declaratory act.
2. Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, First Continental Congress
3. Townshed Act, Quartering Act, or Intolerable/coercive Act

Answer 1

Resentment over the Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party, which provoked the British to enact the Intolerable/Coercive Acts as punishment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resentment and anger over British taxes led to the Boston Tea Party during which the colonists threw tea into Boston Harbor. The British responded with the Intolerable/Coercive Acts. The Tea Act of 1773, although lowering the price of tea, angered colonists as it symbolized Britain's assertion of authority over taxation without representation.

The Boston Tea Party of 1773 represented a significant escalation in colonial protest, prompting the British to pass the Coercive Acts, aimed at punishing Massachusetts and reasserting control. These acts fueled further unrest, leading to the First Continental Congress and a unified American resistance against British imposed policies.
