Mobs and Mob Violence were used by the British Colonists in two ways:
1. Protest Mobs: As soon as news against the British was raied (in the case of 1650-1750, the Revolution), Mob Violence was used to create disruption in cities and towns across colonies to maintain influence:
2. Independent Mobs: Mobs created independently by common people would take up many actions without authority of anyone from the government. For example, Mobs in New York closed down brothels in the city, while in Salem, mobs actually ran out people with diseases away from the city.
Answer:
The "Tea Party" happened in 1770. The Americans threw about $1 million dollars worth of tea into the harbor over the tax placed on the tea. They (Samuel Adams in particular) wanted to send the message "taxation without representation is intolerable."
King George was not particularly happy with his Massachusetts colony prior to the dumping of the tea, but afterward his anger was almost unbridled.
In retribution King George ordered all governors be replaced by English Governor Generals. He also ordered the court system, particularly the maritime courts, be presided over by English judges. And although these acts were meant to apply to all 13 colonies, nowhere were they more obvious than Massachusetts which the King considered the root of all disharmony. He was probably right on that point.
