jan 1, 1774 - Coercive Acts of 1774

Description:

Also known as the Intolerable acts, this event was made as a result of the Boston Tea Party. The acts closed Boston's ports until they paid for the damages they caused to the British East India Company, reduced the power of the self-government in Massachusetts, allowed royal officers to be put to court in other colonies or in England, and allowed for quartering of British troops.
