Intolerable Acts

The government spent a lot of money on troops and equipment for Massachusetts. British merchants had lost money on  spoiled, and destroyed goods shipped to the colonies. The revenue generated by the Townshend duties, in 1770, amounted to less than £21,000. On March 5, 1770, Parliament repealed the duties, except for the one on tea. That same day, the Boston massacre set a course that would lead the Royal Governor to evacuate the occupying army from Boston, and would soon bring the revolution to armed rebellion throughout the colonies.
In 1174 after the French and Indian War the British Government decided to reap greater benefits from the colonies. The colonies were pressed with greater taxes without any representation in Britain. This eventually lead to the Boston Tea Party. In retaliation the British passed several punative acts aimed at bringing the colonies back into submission of the King. In Whiche the following acts were created.
Boston Port Act, Administration of Justice Act, Massachusetts Government Act, Quartering Act,Quebec Act.
