The Intolerable Acts
In 1774 Parliament passed new laws to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party. These new Acts became known to the colonists as the 'Intolerable Acts.' The Boston Harbor was closed until all the tea was payed for, any troops accused of murder woud be tried in England and citizens were not allowed to call Town Meeting's until the governer was notified.
Lord North thought this would press the Colonists into submission, but instead angered the colonists even more. Virginians sent food and supplies to the Bostinians and called for a congress.
Some Americans, called Loyalists thought that the Patriots and Sam Adams group called the Sons of Liberty were the cause of all the trouble.
Samuel Adams would have thought that this was an attack on British America and that we must fight back.
See? Wasn't that boring? Yes, I like my totally off topic comments too. Now, we still have a lot of ground to cover, so stay... uh, tuned I guess. (This is not a radio.)
