The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of punitive measures enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. Key figures involved included British officials like Lord North, the Prime Minister, who aimed to assert control over the American colonies, and colonial leaders such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who opposed these measures and mobilized resistance. The acts prompted widespread outrage among colonists, leading to increased unity and the formation of the First Continental Congress.
