Intolerable Acts

 
  Sailors and clock workers lost their jobs. Stores closed because they lack of goods. British boycott the colonies. In addition they close the ports so there were no imported goods and the colonists had to house the troops. Administration of Justice Act let the troops go to trial in England when they killed colonists because in America there would be no justice. The Quebec Act extended the southern border of Canada and the colonist had already settled there and now they lost their land.

    The colonist called all this acts intolerable:
       -March 31 1774: Boston Port Act
       -June 22 1774: Quartering Act
       -May 20 1774: Administration of Justice Act
       -June 2 1774 Quebec Act
       -May 20 1774: Massachusetts Government Act
   In rural Massachusetts people reacted to the British with violence to all these acts. They were armed with clubs to force the courts of law to shut down. They also assaulted anyone who accept a job to work for the government and again they use tarring and feathering.
