Which of the following is NOT true about the Intolerable or Coercive Acts?

A)The laws were eventually repealed as a result of boycotts and protests

B)The laws closed Boston Harbor and stated that trials could only be held in Great Britain

C) The laws led to the colonists meeting at the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia

D) The angered the colonists because the laws restricted the colonists ability to govern themselves

The Answer is A, not D. The Coercive Acts were not repealed by Parliament. One of the reasons why the colonists went to war with the British was because of their enforcement of the Acts and their refusal to repeal them. If they had repealed them and had given the colonists freedom and hadn’t restricted their liberties, the Revolutionary War would have been much more avoidable. And obviously it angered the colonists. They were extremely angry, which is why they pushed for independence and rebellion.
