British Response to the Boston Tea Party Coercive & Port Acts (a.k.a. Intolerable Acts) (1774): British closed Boston Harbor until colonists paid for destroyed tea, permitted British officials accused of crimes in MA to stand trial in Britain, and drastically curtailed self-govt. in MA.

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. -Benjamin Franklin

Final Question We know how the story ends. The colonies gain their independence and ultimately the USA is formed. But do you think that the colonists were justified in fighting for independence? Or do you think they would have been more justified in simply fighting for their rights as Englishmen? Explain your response.
