Answer

Brief Explanations:

The British laws (Intolerable Acts) after the Boston Tea Party were harsh. Instead of subduing the colonists, they made the colonists more united. The Boston Massacre happened before these laws. The Continental Army was formed later. And the laws didn't quell protests but angered colonists more towards unity for independence.

Answer:

They united the colonists in their calls for independence from the British.
