Answer :

Final answer:

The Coercive Acts were passed to punish the colonies for protests, leading to unity among the colonies.


Explanation:

The Coercive Acts, known as the Intolerable Acts by the American colonists, were passed by Parliament to punish the colonies for violent protests against the tea monopoly. One of the Acts, the Boston Port Bill, closed the port of Boston until the town paid for the tea. These Acts had the unintended consequence of uniting the colonies against British rule.
