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.

Franklin was in Britain when the Boston Tea Party happened. He was called before the king and told off by the king. The next day Franklin was on board a ship back home. Later, he became very popular in France.
