What happened was that when King George III heard of the Boston Tea party, he and the Parliament decided to teach all the colonies a lesson by punishing Massachusetts through 4 acts. They were called the Intolerable Acts by the colonists. The effects were :

  • Closed Bostons' ports until the city paid for the tea (other colonies sent food and supplies to the people living in Massachusetts)
  • Deprived Massachusetts of self-government and placed it under the rule of a military governor, British general Thomas Gage.
  • Allowed British officials to be tried in England for colonial offenses.
  • Issued a stronger Quartering Act that meant the presence of more British troops.
