what was a major effect of the boston tea party?
choose one option
a king george understood that the colonists were unhappy.
b all shipments of tea to america stopped.
c paul revere warned colonists that the british were coming.
d the declaration of independence was signed.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Boston Tea Party was a protest by colonists against British taxation, showing their unhappiness. King George's response (like the Intolerable Acts) reflected he recognized this discontent.
• Option B: Tea shipments didn't fully stop; the British tried to enforce tea trade later.
• Option C: Paul Revere's ride was about the British marching after the Tea Party, not a direct effect of the Tea Party itself.
• Option D: The Declaration of Independence was signed later, not directly due to the Tea Party.

Answer:

A. King George understood that the colonists were unhappy.
