0 Tolerance For Intolerable Acts

The Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts)

The Coercive Acts, or as the colonists named them, the Intolerable Acts, were acts that King George III imposed on the colonists for all wrong things they had done. These acts were all imposed in 1774. There are five Intolerable Acts. Boston Port Act, Administration of Justice Act, Massachusetts Government Act, Quartering Act, and the Quebec Act. Colonists called the Coercive Acts, Intolerable Acts because they were very intolerable to the colonists. The Sons of Liberty targered and feathered anyone in favor of the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts made the colonists be more together. We are going to post more about how the colonists fought back  English.

The Boston Port Act was imposed on the colonists on March 31, 1774. Colonists had to payed nearly $1 million (today's money) on dumped tea. Also, the Boston Port was closed.  The Boston Port Act was the easiest way to enforce the other four Coercive Acts imposed on colonists. The Boston Port Act only allowed English ships to arrive on that port. The Boston Port Act was the first act of the Coercive Acts.

Administration of Justice Act

The Administration of Justice Act was one of the five acts imposed by Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. It was imposed on May 20, 1774 and it was the second of the Coercive Acts imposed.  This act stated that thee governor of Massachusetts could move trials of English soldiers accused of committing crimes to England, because they thought that in the colony they wouldn't get a fair trial. It was known as the Murder Act because the soldiers escaped the consequences of their faults. This act was centralized in protection for the English soldiers.
