The Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive were created to punish the colony of Massachusetts for destroying the tea from the Boston Tea Party. Those who rebelled against these acts were the reason that caused the outbreak of the American Revolution which was in the year of 1775. They were in resistance to the Stamp Act, which as it sounds, meant they must place stamps on any postage documents that would be sent or mailed anywhere. Also the Boston Port Act, that was designed to punish the people and closed off the Boston port for a period of time. Lastly, the Quebec Act that expanded the territory of Quebec and was not ran by a representative government at that time.
