After the intolerable acts were issued what did the colonists do?

The colonies united and responded quickly to a call from Virginia for a Continental Congress that was to meet in Philadelphia in September 1774 to seek a redress of the colonists grievances On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty, led by Samuel Adams, planned to show Parliament how they felt about the Tea Act. They boarded the British ship Dartmouth docked in Boston Harbor, dressed up as Indians, and dumped the entire load of tea into the water. This event came to be known as the Boston Tea Party The historical significance of the Boston Tea Party is recognized more in the British response than in the event itself.As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the following laws designed to punish the Americans 1.

) The Coercive Acts - These acts, including the Boston Harbor bill, closed the harbor to all commercial traffic until Americans paid for the tea they dumped 2. ) The Administration of Justice Act - This act required the extradition (transfer) of all royal officials charged with capital crimes in America to courts in Great Britain 3.) Massachusetts Government Act - This act ended self-rule in the colonies and made all elected officers in America subject to British appointment 4. ) Quartering Act - This was simply a new version of the 1765 Quartering Act which required Americans to provide accomodations (housing , food, clothing etc. ) to British soldiers if necessary 5.) Quebec Act - This act extended the Canadian border (British territory) into the Ohio River Valley and eliminated lands that were claimed by Massachusetts, Virginia and Connecticut These acts were called the Intolerable Acts in America and resulted in the formation of the Continental Congress.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
