What did the colonists do after the boston harbor closed?


What did the colonists do after the boston harbor closed?

basically, the other colonies help Massachusetts survive the blockade of their port. it united the colonies and eventually help lead the way to the revolution

from Wikipedia
"As Boston Port was a major source of supplies for the citizens of Massachusetts, sympathetic colonies as far away as South Carolina sent relief supplies to the settlers of Massachusetts Bay. This was the first step in the unification of the thirteen colonies.

Colonists objected that the Port Act punished all of Boston rather than just the individuals who had destroyed the tea, and that they were being punished without having been given an opportunity to testify in their own defense"
