Question

The Coercive Acts were a response to the colonial resistance in the Boston Massacre.

True
False

Answer 1

False. The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a response to the Boston Tea Party, not the Boston Massacre. The acts were enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their resistance to British rule, particularly after the Boston Tea Party incident in 1773.
