^{"The apprehension of being degraded into a state of servitude from the pre-eminent rank of English freeman, while our minds retain the strongest love of liberty and clearly foresee the miseries preparing for us and our posterity, excites emotions in our hearts which, though we cannot describe, we should not wish to conceal. Feeling as men and thinking as subjects in the manner we do, silence would be disloyalty. "}

This picture shows how British Parliament reacted towards the Boston Tea Party. Colonists believed they were an important factor and contributed a lot to the war efforts. They believed that this legislation violated their rights as Englishmen and their natural rights as human beings.

British Parliament enacted the Port Act in reprisal for the Boston Tea Party in March 1774. The first of the “Intolerable Acts,” the Port Act closed Boston harbor to all shipping until payment for the destroyed tea was made. In May, two additional “Intolerable Acts” forbade public meetings in Massachusetts unless sanctioned by the royal governor and transferred any trial of a British official accused of a capital offense to England or another colony.
