The Coercive Acts (called the "Intolerable Acts" by the colonists) were imposed on the colonists in 1774, after the events of the Boston Tea Party. The Coercive Acts stated that:
Boston Harbor would be closed until all the dumped tea was paid for by the colonists.
Massachusetts was deprived of its self-government.
British officials would be tried in England.
A stronger Quartering Act was issued.
Colonial assemblies were forbidden.
