Who took over Boston after the tea party?

After the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, the British government responded by implementing the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774. These laws aimed to punish Massachusetts and tighten British control over the colony. The British military presence in Boston increased, leading to heightened tensions and ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Thus, while no single individual "took over," the British authorities, particularly Governor Thomas Gage, exerted greater control over Boston during this period.
