Who is in the intolerable acts?

The Intolerable Acts are also known as the Coercive Acts because the colonists felt they were passed to punish the people of Boston for the Boston Tea Party and to force them to do something they did not want to do. They were a series of Acts passed by Parliament; one closed the Port of Boston until the Tea was paid for; a new governor was empowered to transfer trials of British officials and soldiers out of the colony and to Great Britain, even those accused of killing colonists; the colony of Massachusetts had its entire structure of government overhauled and the elected bodies lost their powers. The colony became a Royal Colony in fact; a new Quatering Act required the citizens of Boston to find room and board for the Redcoats stationed in Boston, even if it meant housing soldiers in private homes; The Quebec Act, while not really intended to be part of the Intolerable Acts, recognized the French in Quebec and extended the boudary of that provice into the Ohio River Valley, cutting off westward expansion by the American colonists.


What was the purpose of the Boston Port Act?

The Boston Port Act or Trade Act (one of the Intolerable Acts of 1774) was designed to punish the Massachusetts colony for its protests of British taxes, most notably with the Boston Tea Party of 1773. The act closed the port of Boston through a blockade by the Royal Navy. This was an attempt to coerce the repayment of customs and restitution to the East India Company for their lost revenue, and to re-exert British control of the colonies.
