The Intolerable Acts(or Coercive Acts) were a form a punishment for Boston passed by the British Parliament after the Boston Tea Party in 1773. They banned town meetings throughout Massachusetts, and closed the port of Boston until they paid for all the tea thrown overboard. The other American colonies sympathized with Boston and sent them basic items normally bought from Britain and called for a meeting of the Continental Congress.
