Massachusetts;Boston;the Intolerable Acts; Georgia;Philadelphia;
The British Parliament punished Massachusetts by closing Boston's port and by restricting local authority. Colonists called these new laws the Intolerable Acts and united to oppose them. All the colonies except Georgia sent representatives to Philadelphia in September 1774 to talk about their "present unhappy state" . It was the First Continental Congress. Colonists were angry with the British for taking away their rights, but not everyone agreed on the solution. Loyalists wanted to stay subjects under the king. Moderates wanted to compromise and build a better relationship with the British government. The revolutionaries wanted complete independence. They began collecting weapons and getting men ready - waiting for the fight for independence.
