I think the tea act was the harshest because wen the colonists throw the tea into the Boston harbor. The king got mad and made the colonists not    sell tea and that made the colonists  mad :(. The colonists  started to boycott and the king started to get mad. The colonists were boycotting and somewone throw a snow ball at a soldier an he got mad, then the soldier herd the ward fire and fired lots died 🙁 and menny injerd 🙁
