Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Intolerable Acts or Coercive Acts were Britain's response to the Boston Tea Party, where colonists, angry at the tea tax, threw tea from British ships into Boston Harbor. The acts aimed to punish and isolate Boston, which included the closure of the port, the Quartering Act, and the appointment of a military governor. The other events listed, Lexington and Concord, and the Boston Massacre, happened before the Boston Tea Party and were causes of tension but not the direct trigger for the Intolerable Acts.
