Question 5 • SD-Early US History A

How did the colonists react to the Intolerable Acts?

Answer
A
by banding together against Britain and Massachusetts
B
by supporting Massachusetts and creating a Continental Congress
C
by supporting higher taxes and restrictions in Massachusetts

Explanation

The Intolerable Acts were meant to punish Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party, but many colonists viewed them as a threat to all the colonies. In response, they supported Massachusetts and organized the First Continental Congress in 1774 to coordinate their opposition to Britain. Choice B gives both parts of that response.
