2. Restrictions on trade: The British government also imposed restrictions on trade, which prevented the colonies from trading freely with other countries. This limited the colonies' economic growth and made them dependent on Britain for goods.
3. Quartering of British troops: The British government stationed troops in the colonies to enforce its laws and maintain order. This presence of foreign troops angered the colonists, who felt that their homes were being invaded.
4. Intolerable Acts: In response to the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament passed the Coercive Acts, which were known as the Intolerable Acts by the colonists. These acts further restricted the colonies' rights and liberties, and they further inflamed tensions between the colonists and the British government.
5. The desire for independence: Many colonists began to believe that the only way to protect their rights and liberties was to break away from Britain and establish their own independent nation. This desire for independence was a major factor in the outbreak of the American Revolution.
