    Explanation
    The Boston Tea Party was an act of protest by American colonists against British taxation, specifically the Tea Act. In response to this event, the British government passed a series of punitive measures known as the Intolerable Acts. These acts were aimed at punishing the colonists and asserting British authority. They included the closure of the Boston Harbor, the quartering of British troops in private homes, and the suspension of self-government in Massachusetts. The Intolerable Acts further fueled the growing tensions between the American colonists and the British government, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.

The boycott aimed to put economic pressure on Britain and show unity among the colonies in their resistance against British rule. By refusing to import British goods, the colonies hoped to weaken the British economy and force the government to reconsider its policies. This was an important step towards the eventual American Revolution and the fight for independence.
