Grievances

It's a good thing that we did revolt against the British! What with the Tea Act, the Stamp Act, the Intolerable Acts, I'm suprised we didn't do it sooner! It started innocently enough whith Great Britian sending peopple over here to keep an eye on us, then those "get rich quick" taxes, then the Bloody Massacre, then the acts, and now war! But let's focus more on the Intolerable Acts, since they seem to be the main cause of this war. These acts were a direct response from the Boston Tea Party. The Intolerable Acts are actually 5 acts grouped together, these are:

1. Boston Port Act: This was mostly because of the Tea Party. The act means that all Boston Ports are closed and won't reopen until the East India Company has repaid back all the tea and until the king is satisfied.



2. Massachucets Government Act: This act meant that the entire government of Massachucets is purely under British control, which is (don't laugh) intolerable!



3. Administration of Justice Act: This act means that any offical set to go to trail must go to Britian for that trial, to avoid any bias the jury might have.

4. Quartering Act: This meant that any British soldier could go into your house and sleep there for free whenever they want.



5. Quebec Act: Extended border of Quebec and people there were denied Protestant religion and guaranteed Roman Catholic religion.
