Britain sought to cut New England from the colonies primarily due to its growing unrest and opposition to British authority, particularly following events like the Boston Tea Party. The imposition of the Intolerable Acts in 1774 aimed to punish Massachusetts and suppress dissent, while also isolating New England from the other colonies to prevent the spread of revolutionary sentiments. This strategy ultimately backfired, as it galvanized colonial unity against British rule and contributed to the escalation of tensions leading to the American Revolution.
