Question

The Stamp Act was passed in 1774 as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. The Stamp Act shut down Boston Harbor. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Boston Tea party was an American protest initiated by the Sons of Liberty in Boston Harbor, 1773.

The Stamp act of 1765 was a taxation law enacted by congress with the intention to profit off of colonial taxation.

The Stamp act of 1765 was not a repercussion of the Boston Tea party but rather a benefactor of the Boston Tea party. The Stamp Act and many other  taxations imposed by the British parliament seemed unfair to the American colonists; they felt they had no voice or opinion due to there being no colonist representatives in parliament. Naturally, they revolted (The Boston tea party) in defiance against taxations. The Boston tea party had an enormous impact spreading feelings of patriotism and independence nationwide, ultimately sparking the American Revolution.

I hope this clears things up.
