DDH - Acts That Were Intolerable

In this episode of Dave Does History, we travel back to 1774 and examine the moment when the British Crown pushed too far and the American colonies finally stood together. Dave Bowman joins Bill Mick Live to explore the Intolerable Acts, a series of harsh laws meant to punish Massachusetts but which instead united the colonies in defiance. From the closure of Boston’s port to the often-overlooked Quebec Act, Dave breaks down how these measures lit a fire across the continent. He also draws a powerful parallel to the 1497 Cornish Rebellion, showing how history often rhymes. We’ll meet the Committees of Correspondence, dig into the Fairfax and Suffolk Resolves, and witness the gathering at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia. This is the episode where thirteen voices become one—and that voice says, clearly, “Enough.” Listen now and rediscover the moment when resistance turned into revolution.
