Thursday History Homework

The Intolerable Acts

DIRECTIONS: Read and annotate
the article. Then answer the
question on the next page.

Britain's House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament, helped issue a series of acts in response
to the Boston Tea Party and the American colonies' continual rebellion.

Someone was going to pay.

Parliament was utterly fed up with colonial antics. The British could tolerate strongly
worded letters or trade boycotts. They could put up with defiant legislatures and
harassed customs officials to an extent.

Name:___________________________________ Date:______________ Class #______

But they saw the destruction of 342 chests of tea belonging to the British East India
Company as destruction of property by Boston thugs who did not even have the courage
to admit responsibility.
Someone was going to pay.

Calami-tea
The British called their responsive measures to the Boston Tea Party the COERCIVE ACTS.
Boston Harbor was closed to trade until the owners of the tea were compensated. Only
food and firewood were permitted into the port. Town meetings were banned, and the
authority of the royal governor was increased.
To add insult to injury, General Gage, the British commander of North American forces,
was appointed governor of Massachusetts. British troops and officials would now be tried
outside Massachusetts for crimes of murder. Greater freedom was granted to British
officers who wished to house their soldiers in private dwellings.

1. What historical event caused England to pass the Intolerable Acts?

a. the French and Indian War

b. the Tea Act

c. the Boston Tea Party

d. Triangle Trade
