Benjamin Franklin was not directly involved in the Boston Tea Party, so he did not face any immediate consequences. However, his support for the American cause and his role as a leader in the revolution made him a target of British authorities. He was eventually dismissed as Deputy Postmaster General of North America and was publicly ridiculed in the British press.
