Intolerable Acts - March 31 - June 22, 1774

The Intolerable Acts also called the Coercive Acts included four acts, the Boston Port Bill, Massachusetts Government Act, Quartering Act of 1774, and the Quebec Act.  These acts fell mainly upon Boston, angered by the Boston Tea Party.  The Boston Port Bill closed Boston Harbor until the money that the Boston Tea Party was returned.  The Massachusetts Government Act forbade town meetings without approval.the Administration of Justice Act protected British officials charged with capital offenses to go to England for trial.  The Quartering Act gave colonial governors the right to request unoccupied buildings to house British troops.  The Quebec Act removed all the territory and fur trade between Ohio and the Mississippi River.

These are the Acts
