The name for the laws that prohibited town meetings in New England was Intolerable Acts.
In 1774, Parliament ordered the Boston harbor to be closed until payment for the destroyed tea. Then, the Parliament passed the Massachusetts Governance Act to punish the rebel colony.
Explanation:
- The upper house of the Massachusetts Parliament would be named by the Crown, which was already the case with colonies such as New York and Virginia.
- The royal governor could appoint and remove at his will all judges, sheriffs and other executive officials and limit local meetings.
- Judges would be selected from sheriffs and British soldiers would be tried outside the colonies for alleged misconduct.
- All these have been called Intolerable Acts by the American Patriots.

The U.S changed since the ending of slavery. Slavery was a horror in American History and something that we African Americans take seriously but it also applies to many black and white Americans as well.
Since the ending of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 which lasted 4 years, black Americans were protected with the 14th amendment but were not equally given equal rights. This was a main issue for blacks and whites and Congress men at that time because they did not know what to do in order for everyone to agree on one specific thing. The Declaration of independence that said "All men are equal" wad a big main topic for Congress leaders and for black people because the founding fathers did not include blacks people in it.
Going down to history the Jim Crow laws and segregation was a big nightmare for black people. Jim Crow law was a law that separated blacks and whites still given "equality" to both sides but not really, because it meant that blacks and whites could not go to public places together and were divided which lead to segregation which impacted many blacks people such as MLK, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and many to fight for freedom, equality, and justice for all.
Segregation ended finally and black people were happy but whites were not. Many riots where happening in the South and some in the North but that did not stop African Americans from doing more changes that would change American History for ever.
So that is how U.S changed.

Northern lawmakers were hesitant to go to war with Mexico because in the North people began to question the system as they increasingly viewed it as immoral and believed that it was wrong for person to enslave another. By starting a war with Mexico, they believe that the new territories would create more slave states and perpetuate the system further. Aside from that, President James Polk also wanted to acquire the territories of California, New Mexico and Oregon. Eventually war broke out when American troops to the Rio Grande and Nueces River regard as disputed territories.
It is difficult to suggest a course of action as no one knows what the perfect answer to this is. However, one strategy that seems to reduce the incidence of discriminatory practices is that of facilitating the interaction of people of many different races and backgrounds. Most of the time, discrimination comes from a fear of the unknown. People have prejudices and biases towards people who are different from them and this affects how they think about them. However, when people spend time in diverse communities, they tend to become more tolerant and accepting of those who are different to them.
