The Boston Tea Party could make someone become a Loyalist by showing them the extreme actions and defiance taken by the Patriots. Some individuals may have viewed the destruction of British property and the refusal to pay taxes as unjust and irresponsible. They may believe that the Patriots were acting in a reckless and disrespectful manner towards the British government. This could push them towards supporting the British crown and becoming more loyal to the established authority. Additionally, the economic impact of the Tea Party and the resulting Intolerable Acts could have made some individuals fear the consequences of continued resistance and seek safety and stability by aligning themselves with the loyalist cause.
