    The brits were so upset that perfectly good tea was wasted they passed the Coercive Acts.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intolerable_Acts

    1. Close the port of Boston, collective punishment for the whole city.

    2. Take away self-governance for Boston, replacing elected positions with Crown appointees and limiting town meetings in Boston to 1 per year.

    3. Any government officials who commit crimes are tried outside the Colonies. Dubbed “the murder act” as even the soldiers responsible for the Boston Massacre received a fair trial in the Colonies.

    4. Quartering Act

    5. Expanding Quebec into Ohio, which was actually pretty rad, I wish Canada kept Ohio
