Revolutionary+paper

Bryon Black  10/2/09  Earth  The Intolerable Acts started the Revolutionary War  I believe this event started the Revolutionary War. I have this opinion because the British pushed the Colonists too far, and they were changing the way the Colonists lived. I feel this way about my topic because the laws that were passed during this event enraged the colonists, and would soon cause them to wage war on Britain. The 1st law passed was the “Boston Port Act” that closed the port from anything except food and firewood. The 2nd law passed was the “Administration of Justice Act”. It was to make sure any person questioned in any acts done by them was executed in the law. The 3rd law passed was the “Massachusetts Government Act”. This law was to make it easier and better to govern Massachusetts. The 4th law passed was the “Quartering Act of 1774”. This law allowed British troops to stay in your home without your consent and eat your food, take your money, livestock, and ect. The final and last law passed before the colonists had enough and waged war was the “Quebec Act”, which gave all the “Quakers” the right to practice their religion. The Quebec Act is what I think really made the colonists enraged enough to start the Revolutionary War; because they fled Britain for the soul right to practice their religion, and the Quakers did nothing and they got the right to practice their religion just like that.
