Boston Port Act

the banning of arms ’, the very unpopular Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, and the Boston Tea & Port Acts. Another unpopular Act enforced on the colonies, by His Majesty of Great Britain, was the now-famous Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was a set of laws created by the King and parliament, saying that the American colonists had to pay more taxes than the people in Great Britain were paying, as a way to pay off the cost of the Seven Years War. This Act was upsetting to the colonists because they didn’t

The Intolerable Acts were a set of British Laws passed by Parliament in 1774. Four of the laws passed were created to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party. The first act closed the port of Boston, the second act put an end to the Massachusetts Constitution, the third act forced all trials in Massachusetts to be held in Britain, and the fourth act forced colonists to feed and shelter British soldiers. The fifth act was the only law not created to punish Massachusetts. Instead, it extended

The Boston Tea Party was a tremendous moment in history that was caused by many factors and had many lasting effects that led to the war that shaped our country into what it is today, The Revolutionary War. The Boston Tea Party occurred due to the creation of The Tea Act in 1773. The colonists retaliated by taking tea off of a British boat and throwing it into the harbor. This led to the creation of The Intolerable Acts, and the beginning of The Revolutionary War. The creation of The Tea Act was

I believe the act that angered the colonists the most was the Boston Port Act. The Boston Port act made sure that nothing would come in and out of the Boston waters. So in perspective, the people of Boston wouldn’t be able to trade with any other place because they wouldn’t be able to get the goods from anywhere because that would require traveling by ship which they couldn’t do because the waters were closed off. If i was a colonist then I would be angry about that. In fact it would have caused

what got the american revolution under way. Those events were the townshend acts, the Boston massacre, and the Boston tea party. To start off, the townshend acts were a series of taxations which taxed lead, glass, paint, tea and other goods. Colonist were very angry about all of these taxations. So they decide to boycott by not getting the goods that were being taxed. Because of all of the boycotting the townshend acts were repealed all except for tea. Because of tea not being repealed one of

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS- November of 1773 an event happened that changed the colonist’s lives forever. During this time the Tea Act was taking place. This helped the British East Tea company by enabling them to send tea straight to the colonies, whereas they usually had to send the tea to England, then on to the colonies. The Parliament thought the colonist would like this change, but because they had to pay the duty, or import tax, which did not sit well with them, they were not so gracious with this

The Intolerable Acts of 1774, also known as the Coercive Acts, were created by Parliament solely to punish the colonies in response to the Boston Tea Party, an act of colonial defiance in which the colonists dumped large amounts of tea. The acts themselves consisted of 4 acts, each as a measure to secure English jurisdiction over their American Domains. The Boston Port Act would close down the port of Boston until the dumped tea was paid for. This would soon cause other colonies to send support in

The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16, 1773, and is marked as one of the greatest catalysts of the American Revolution. Colonists were enraged by British taxation without proper representation after the French and Indian war. The war had cost the crown dearly and in response, parliament passed the Stamp Act in 1765 and the Townsend Revenue Acts in 1767 as an effort to replenish their depleted treasury. Parliament retraced the Stamp Act and the taxes put in place by the Townsend Acts, except

Events leading up to the first battles of the Revolutionary War such as the Tea Act, The Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts all played a significant role in setting the scene for the Revolutionary War. In the battles of Lexington and Concord Britain discovered that the tenacity of the Americans would not so easily be silenced. Hundreds of British troops, estimated to be around seven hundred, marched from Boston to Lexington on the evening of April 18, 1775, with secret orders to capture any

Intolerable Acts, otherwise known as the “Coercive” Acts, caused the most unrest among the colonies and led to the American Revolution during the 1700’s. In 1733, Parliament passed the Tea Act. This made it so that colonists could only buy tea from the British East Indies Company. Even though the Tea Act lowered the price of tea, the colonists thought of it as another restriction of their freedom. A group of opposers, dressed as American Indians, threw three-hundred forty chests of tea into the Boston Harbor
