D

Explanation:

Both triggered acts of resistance in other colonial cities and took place after Bostonians failed to turn away ships laden with tea.

The Boston Tea Party was a colonial protest to Britain, that is considered to be the antedecedent to the Americans patriots fighting for independence. In this protest, Bostonians were angry at Britain for imposing taxes without representation, so, disguised as indians, they threw a really big amount of tea chests, imported by the British East India Company  to the sea, as an act of protest, which then triggered acts of resistance in other colonial cities.

explanation:

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
