= [|The Intolerable Acts of 1774: Road to Independence] = Q: Who was determined to control the colonies by imposing a new tea tax? Q: What act was tacked on to the Intolerable Acts?

[|First editions of the “Intolerable Acts” of 1774] Q:  What were the Intolerable Acts also known as to the British?  Q: Who wrote of this Act that “the cowards who would suffer a countryman to be torn from the bowels of their society, in order to be thus offered a sacrifice to parliamentary tyranny, would merit that everlasting infamy now fixed on the authors of the act!”?



**//__Summary__//** The Intolerable Acts or otherwise the Coercive Acts happened after King George III taxed the tea and colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor. First, colonists of Boston, Massachusetts dumped tea into the Boston Harbor. This happened because King George III raised tax on the price of tea. Next, in outrage King George and the Parliament created the Coercive Acts to punish the colonists. Their colony's charter was changed and the port of Boston was closed until the East India Company paid for the damage. Last, due to these acts the colonists went into the American Revolutionary War. They won the war and the colonists also won their independence. This is why the Intolerable acts happened and why the colonists dumped tea into the harbor. The Intolerable acts were unfair to the colonists, but in the end the colonists have won their freedom.
