The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were seen as necessary by the British government to restore order and assert control over the American colonies following the Boston Tea Party and growing colonial resistance. These measures aimed to punish Massachusetts, particularly Boston, for its defiance and to deter other colonies from similar rebellious actions. By tightening their grip, British authorities hoped to re-establish their authority and maintain the economic and political structure of the empire. However, these acts ultimately fueled further colonial unrest and galvanized the push toward independence.
