Abstract

As a direct response to the Boston Tea Party, the British ministry during the early months of 1774 brought before Parliament a string of bills called the Coercive Acts, which became known in the American colonies as the Intolerable Acts. Within a year, the British government’s attempt to enforce the Intolerable Acts developed into the conflict that became the Revolutionary War.
