Final answer:

The British intent of the Coercive Acts was to punish the colonies, but it led to a united colonial opposition to British control.


Explanation:

The British intent of the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, was to punish the colonists for their resistance to British rule, particularly targeting Boston and Massachusetts. These acts aimed to restore order in the colonies by restricting self-governance and asserting British authority. Instead of achieving compliance, the Coercive Acts had the unintended consequence of uniting the colonies in opposition to British control.
