Britain attempted to restore order in Boston through a combination of military presence and legislative measures. Following the Boston Tea Party in 1773, the British government implemented the Coercive Acts (also known as the Intolerable Acts), which aimed to punish Massachusetts by closing Boston Harbor and revoking its charter. Additionally, British troops were stationed in the city to enforce these laws and maintain control, leading to increased tensions between colonists and the British authorities. This heavy-handed approach ultimately fueled colonial resistance and contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
