“The Die is Cast: The Intolerable Acts and the American Revolution.”
Professor Andrew Shankman, Ph.D. Rutgers University
The year 1774 and the passage by the British Parliament of the Coercive (or Intolerable) Acts changed forever American colonists’ understanding of Britain and their place in the British empire. The reaction to the Coercive Acts led to a rejection of monarchy, revolutionary struggle, the massive disruption of everyday life, and previously unthinkable aspirations and expectations for what should replace the discredited and rejected British Monarchy.
