The Coercive Acts were known as the Intolerable Acts in
America and were passed by England after the Boston Tea Party. The acts included the
Boston Port Act, Quarting Act, Administration of Justice Act, and the Massachusetts
Government Act.
Because of these acts Massachusetts began
to receive sympathy and respect from the other colonies. Also moderates in America began
to slide toward more radical views and actions. Probably the most important significance
though is that these acts would lead to the summoning of the First Continental Congress
in Philadelphia in September of 1774.
