After the Boston Tea Party, the British clamped down on the Massachusetts colony, and passed what came to be known as the Intolerable Acts. Most colonists were outraged by them; they seemed far too harsh and unjust: colonists felt that the acts strangled commerce and trade, and treated the people of Massachusetts like convicted criminals. Some of the colonists mounted protests, and many refused to comply with these new laws. A few of the more influential colonists, including John Hancock, even wrote to the royal authorities to demand that these acts be repealed immediately. But when nothing seemed to work, the Intolerable Acts led the colonists to decide a revolution was necessary.
