Detailed explanation-2: -BOSTON April 1, 1774-King George III and Parliament responded decisively this week to The Boston Tea Party by closing the city port. Four British regiments were sent to Boston, along with new Governor General Thomas Gage, who will replace the much-maligned Thomas Hutchinson.
