The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, aiming to punish Massachusetts and restore order. These punitive measures, which included closing Boston Harbor and revoking the colony's charter, ignited widespread anger and resentment among the colonies. They united disparate colonial factions against what they perceived as British tyranny, leading to increased coordination among the colonies and the formation of the First Continental Congress. This escalating tension ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.
It angered the Americans to the point of war
The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was a pivotal protest against British taxation without representation, symbolizing colonial resistance and unity against British rule. In response, the Coercive Acts (also known as the Intolerable Acts) of 1774 aimed to punish Massachusetts and suppress dissent, further inflaming tensions between the colonies and Britain. These actions galvanized colonial opposition, fostering a sense of shared identity and purpose among the colonies, ultimately driving them toward seeking independence. Together, they marked a critical escalation in the conflict that would lead to the American Revolution.

The Townshend Acts didn't lead to the Civil War.The Townshend Acts were passed by the British Parliament before the American Revolution; long story short, they tried to raise taxes on the American Colonists, and the American Colonists didn't think it was fair for Parliament to raise taxes on them but they couldn't vote in Parliament's elections- "no taxation without representation", as the saying goes.So the Townshend Acts were one of the major contributing factors to the start of the American Revolution, not the US Civil War. You could make the case that without the Townshend Acts, there wouldn't have been a USA and then the USA couldn't have had its Civil War.
Taxation without representation, the Boston Massacre, the Stamp Act, and the Intolerable or Coercive Acts.
Parliament passed four acts in 1774 aimed specifically at what was seen as the hotbed of rebellion, Boston.
