24 mar 1774 ano - The Intolerable Acts (The Coercive Acts)

Descrição:

The Intolerable Acts were created to punish and control Massachusetts. Parliament believed if they isolated Massachusetts, rebellion would decrease. The acts forced colonists to house troops, closed the Boston Harbor, put Massachusetts under military control, and allowed trials for royal officials to be moved out of the colonies. In response, colonists created the First Continental Congress.
