Quizplus · Accepted Answer

England issued the Intolerable Acts in direct response to the Boston Tea Party in 1773. When Sons of Liberty boarded the ships and threw crates of tea into Boston Harbor, their actions cost the merchant the modern equivalent of $750,000 in lost revenue. These acts closed the port of Boston until the damages were paid, allowed British troops to be stationed in the homes of key leaders, and banned public meetings. They ultimately helped unify the colonies, which came together to supply food to Boston.
