Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:  The Boston Massacre and Tea Party provoked the first signs of the beginning of a revolution and the desire for freedom on the part of the settlers. Such demonstrations were severely punished with the arrival of English troops to the Port of Boston, where the settlers had to provide food and lodging as an English countermeasure for the excesses occurred. This caused constant resistance and struggle on the part of the settlers. Finally all this difficult situation would lead to the independence of the United States from the yoke of England since the colonists after many adversities won the victory.
