Question 8 • SD-Early US History A

How did the colonists react to the Intolerable Acts?

Answer
A
Banding together against Britain and Massachusetts.
B
Supporting Massachusetts and creating a Continental Congress.
C
Supporting higher taxes and restrictions in Massachusetts

Explanation

The Intolerable Acts punished Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party, including by closing Boston Harbor and limiting self-government. Rather than abandon Massachusetts, colonists in other colonies showed support and sent delegates to the First Continental Congress in 1774 to coordinate their response. So the correct choice is supporting Massachusetts and creating a Continental Congress.
