==Aftermath==

The colonists refused to pay for the lost tea, resulting in an outraged British Parliament passing a series of laws meant to punish Boston and tighten British control in the area.  Under the so-called [[Intolerable Acts]], Britain closed the port of Boston, turned private homes into quarters for British soldiers; curtailed the power of the assemblies in Boston and Massachusetts as a whole; and prevented trials against British officials who were charged with crimes.  The bitterness and hatred the Intolerable Acts caused mearly hastened the coming revolution; the memory of those acts after the revolution ended led to the incorporation of the first seven amendments to the [[United States Constitution]].
