you were talking about the reaction to the boston tea party(342 boxes of tea thrown in the sea)
britain did send more tea and stil demanded more taxes. which even you noted as the intolerant acts
thats where your first story ended
funny thing is. the response was not britain going to america with placards and picnic blankets.
they made LAWS as their reaction (yep laws change things more then placards).. but not positive laws that helped america.. negative laws (hint protests dont work)
what you will see is that part of the intolerable acts was to have the british parliament make acts to 'own' the ports and demand payment further. basically you wont get your tea unless you pay the tax first.
(1774:£9k = 2020: $1m)
ill call this the tax blackmail part of my summary of 'demand more tax'
and then they sent tea via other methods
ill call this the bait and switch part of my summary of 'send more tea'
ill concede and explain my summary better in regards to bait and switch.. it was no longer britain -> india->britain-> america during this march+1774 event of the intolerable acts
where britain bought tea from india. india sent tea via britain to america. via official channels
but instead
britain-> india->'pirates'->america
you got to remember america still got tea from 'east india tea company' (aka britain) but just not the official way
but britain (parliament) still fought for taxes from that tea journey coz they 'own the ports'
hint: most 'pirates' were british. indian tea company was british empire owned thus still britain sending tea
(but shhh, dont tell the colonists).. and just to add a lil more salt to the tea..
when britain sent the new acts to america. they sent it with tea and there 30 boxes of tea also got dumped
but hey now im really knit picking details.
hense my summarising 'britain still sent tea and demanded taxes'
maybe i should have explained ELI-5 rather than to ask to look deeper. i just thought some people would look deeper and connect the dots
anyway.
throwing 342 boxes off 3 boats oct 1773. did not win america any favours. so the 'protest' didnt help
what did help is the petitions and legal stuff .. but it seems we are skipping ahead of where you are at in your research
so ill slow down, and try to not summarise too much.
but the american response in september 1774 of forming congress petitioning the monarchy led to britain conceding in feb 1775 and reducing their handling and demands on america.. but it seems im skipping ahead
ill wait for you to catch up to all the dots that led to
concillatory resolution oops i mean 'response to the petition of the monarchy'
[spoiler] it was not 342 boxes of tea dumping=war/peace.
