The Intolerable Acts. Everything you need to know.
King George III and the new British Prime Minister, Lord North, were furious when they heard the news of the Boston Tea Party. In the spring of 1774, Parliament responded by passing four harsh laws that colonists found so rude, crude, and vile they called them The Intolerable Acts. What did these laws do?
The Coercive Acts, as they were called in Britain, were designed to punish Boston for the Tea Party and passed Parliament by a huge 4-1 majority. The Boston Port Act closed Boston Harbor, one of the empire’s busiest, until the destroyed tea, and the duties on it, were paid for in pounds sterling.
Massachusetts’s charter, granted by the Crown in 1691, was drastically overhauled. Officials in the governor’s council would be appointed by the royal governor, and town meetings could no longer take place without the governor’s permission. All local judges and officials would be appointed by the governor, and their salaries would be paid for by customs duties (taxes). All Committees of Correspondence in the colony were also to be disbanded.
The Administration of Justice Act followed, which stipulated that any British soldier or official charged with a capital crime in America would have their trial moved to England or to another colony where they would face a friendlier judge and jury.
The Coercive Acts also dispatched four regiments of British soldiers to Boston and authorized army officers to quarter the troops in the homes of private citizens. To truly emphasize the message to the colonists, King George III appointed Royal Army officer Thomas Gage, commander-in-chief of British troops in North America, as the new governor of the colony.
As a final act of punishment to the colonies, Lord North passed the Quebec Act, which set up a government for the colony that had been won from France a little more than a decade before. It made concessions to the Roman Catholic French living in the territory as it imitated the manner in which they were governed under the French colonial regime.
The second part of the Quebec Act proved to be quite “anti-American.” The southern boundary of Quebec was extended south to the Ohio River and the western half to the Mississippi, effectively stripping away the land claims of a half dozen colonies to the territory. British officials readily admitted in Parliament that the intention was to keep the English colonists bottled up close to the seaboard where they would be easier to control.
Not all of the members of Parliament supported the Coercive Acts. In fact, several warned that it would lead to massive resistance throughout the colonies. One even warned his fellow politicians that they might soon be “wading up to your eyes in blood.” William Pitt spoke out against the acts in the House of Lords because they “punish the innocent as well as the guilty.”
Lord North dismissed the negative arguments, assuring that the empire had nothing to worry about. Of the America colonies he commented, “She has neither army, navy, money, or men.” He then summed up the debates on the acts by stating, “We must control them or submit to them.”
After meeting with the former Governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson, King George III informed Prime Minister North that the colonies would soon submit to their rule. It was around that same time that reports reached London that colonial leaders had planned something called the Continental Congress to meet in Philadelphia.

Reading Through History thanks keep up the good work!
Same
Your accent calmed my nerves just as much as the studying helped me 😅
Thank you so much for making reading through the history videos. I am taking early American History in college and your videos make it easier to understand.
+ParaLee Long You are very welcome.
Parliament forgot that the colonies weren’t full of complacent peoples already suffering under despots, like in the Indian subcontinent. They were the most independent, resolute and adventurous cream of the crop from the empire’s own heartland. Real Britons bow to no man, but might follow a friend.
Perfect. This helped out with some information that got me troubled by it. Very happy now that my Essay is more clear to be read.
my history teacher made me do an 8-page study guide for 3 points only !!! and this really helped thanks!
unfortunate the history books are tainted so you won't learn true history...
Proverbs 22:3
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Take heed to this truth, or if you reject it as "conspiracy" or "craziness" you will suffer the consequences.
"Popery Puseyism Jesuitism"
By Luigi Desanctis
Page 140:
At what, then, do the Jesuits aim? According to them, they only seek the greater glory of God; but if you examine the facts you will find that they aim at universal dominion alone. They have rendered themselves indispensable to the Pope, who, without them, could not exist, because Catholicism is identified with them. They have rendered themselves indispensable to governors and hold revolutions in their hands; and in this way, either under one name or another, it is they who rule the world, who have reduced it to such perversion of ideas, that he can neither be a good citizen nor a good Catholic who is not a Jesuit.
Page 139:
He who thinks he knows the Jesuits by having read all the books that were written in the past century to unmask them, would be grossly deceived. The Jesuitism of that day was an open war against the Gospel and society; the Jesuitism of the present day is a slow but contagious and deadly disease, which secretly insinuates itself; it is a poison taken under the name of medicine.
"History of the Jesuits: their origin, progress, doctrines, and designs" 1854
By Nicolini, G. B. (Giovanni Battista)
Page 39:
take the Jesuit for what he ought or appears to be, and you commit the greatest of blunders. Draw the character after what the Jesuit seems to be in London, and you will not recognize your portrait in the Jesuit of Rome. The Jesuit is the man of circumstances. Despotic in Spain, constitutional in England, republican in Paraguay, bigot in Rome, idolater in India, he shall assume and act out in his own person, with admirable flexibility, all those different features by which men are usually to be distinguished from each other. He will accompany the gay woman of the world to the theatre, and will share in the excesses of the debauchee. With solemn countenance, he will take his place by the side of the religious man at church, and he will revel in the tavern with the glutton and the sot. He dresses, in all garbs, speaks all languages, knows all customs, is present everywhere though nowhere recognized-and all this, it should seem (O monstrous blasphemy!), for the greater glory of God
Page 82:
[Jesuit] Father Francis Pelhco... candidly confesses that " the many illustrious friends of the Society, prelates, orators, learned and distinguished men of every description, the supporters of the Society, remain occult, and obliged to be silent.''
"The Jesuits in History"
by Hector MacPherson
Page 148:
Danger lies in the fact that since the Vatican Council the interests of both are identical. Jesuitism is the power behind the Papal throne. “The presence of the Jesuits in any country, Romanist or Protestant,” once remarked Lord Palmerston, “ is likely to breed social disturbance.” So hurtful was the Jesuit Order found
to be that, up to 1860, it was expelled no fewer than seventy times from countries which has
suffered from its machinations...
In spite of Continental warnings, England, in the name of a spurious toleration, has become a Jesuit dumping-ground. Those whom
other countries have found from sad experience to be enemies, Britain allows to land on her shores, and to carry on unmolested their work of iniquity. We are carrying toleration to excess, and unless there is a change of policy, this nation will one day pay a heavy penalty. If we wish to escape the penalty, we must come to realize that a system which enslaves the individual, fosters superstition, is at war with patriotism and destroys morality, will, if allowed to flourish unchecked, sooner or later destroy society.
"The Jesuits in History" 1914
by Hector MacPherson
Page 122:
In order to clearness of thought in dealing with this subject, it is well to note the distinction between Roman Catholicism and the Papacy. The former has to do mainly with religion. It rests upon the theological doctrines which Protestants believe to be erroneous. There are Roman Catholics who take their religion but not their politics from the Pope. Had the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious organisation like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries of evil. But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal monarchy.
"The Vatican Against Europe" 1993
by Edmond Paris
Page 308:
In the future, as in the past, she (The Catholic Church) will inexorably move towards the end she has set herself, without the slightest thought for the ruins and the catastrophes that her unwearying pursuit might be causing. "The end justifies the means". "No political event or circumstance can be evaluated without the knowledge of the Vatican's part in it. And no significant world situation exists in which the Vatican does not play an important explicit or implicit role.
"The Secret History Of The Jesuits" 1975
by Edmond Paris
Page 7:
The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars-a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict.
Page -163-164:
But let us see, first, how an especially "authorized" personality, Franco, Knight of the Order of Christ, expressly confirmed the collusion between the Vatican and the nazis. According to "Reforme", this is what the press of the Spanish dictator (Franco) published on the 3rd of May 1945, the day of Hitler's death: ...
"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organisation into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.."(108)
"Swarms of Locusts: The Jesuit attack on the Faith" 2002
by Michael Bunker
Page 12:
There is a conspiracy against Christendom.... But who are Satan’s agents in this conspiracy? The “agents” are the Jesuits.
Even though the Jesuits exude vast influence and control in the areas of theology, education, recorded history and current media, I am still perplexed that virtually no literature exists exposing the Jesuit’s influence on mainline Protestantism.

Well actually the expansion of Quebec was more to keep in line with the network already forged long ago by New France. Rather than bottling up the 13 colonies. What Quebec got what essentially the already existing territory and trade/fort network of New France. Quebec is where those "voyageurs" and "courier du bois" came from anyway. The great lakes water way and river system made Quebec the logical choice for this territories administration for the British.
helped me so much I got a A+ thsnks so much
