Coercive Acts and Quebec Act

Revolution was the Coercive/Intolerable Acts. I believe this event had the most significant role in starting the American Revolutionary War because of the following, one, the colonists were already angered by the taxes/laws/acts. Next, the acts changed the way many colonists had to live. And finally I believe that the Coercive/Intolerable Acts were unfair to the colonists and that that some of the laws and acta were not necessary.

There were many causes that brought on the start of the American Revolution. A great deal of the civil unrest was brought on by the acts that followed the end of the French and Indian War. At the end of the war, most of which was fought on American soil, England had incurred a dept almost double that of when William Pitt took office.

Such as in the Quebec Act which is in 1774 on June 27, It was passed by British parliament to replace brief government created at the time of the proclamation of 1763.

British passed the Intolerable Acts, a law that created a punitive tax for the destruction of Tea in the Boston Harbor. Though the British saw the Intolerable Acts as a compromise in dealing with the vandalism, the American colonists were enraged. Their anger led to the creation of the First Continental Congress and paved the path for the conflict of the American Revolution. The American Revolution lasted from 1754 to 1788 with the commission of the intolerable acts occurring in the midst of this
