The New England colonies

The New England colonies were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.

These colonies being on the coastline had access to ports and lumber from the forests for the shipbuilding. The colonies also had a profitable fishing and whaling industry due to the ocean access. These colonies were also the center of import/export trade. Urban areas developed around these industries such as Boston, Providence, Portsmouth, New Haven, and Salem.

How did the Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 change the way Massachusetts was governed?
arsen [322]

Answer: A. It banned colonial assembly.

The last straw to the British was the Boston Tea Part after which Parliament passed the Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 which placed Massachusetts directly under the control of a Royal governor who had absolute powers and suspended the Colonial assembly in order to remove any illusion of self-governance the people had.
