    After the Boston Tea Party, England became concerned that the American colonies, if allowed to rebel the way they had been, might just declare freedom for themselves. Also, the Boston Tea Party had embarrassed England. All of England's friends saw a country losing control of its subjects and England's enemies saw a struggling nation, vunerable to attack. Therefore, Parliament passed what they called the Coercive Acts. This act effectively put into place sanctions meant to punish Boston for their rebellion. One of these punishments was to close Boston Harbor. This outraged colonists everywhere, not only in Boston. Other colonies were so disgusted with England, that they secretly sent supplies and other forms of aid to Boston. The colonists disliked these acts so much that, with in the colonies, they became known as the Intolerable Acts.
