Answer:

The Intolerable Acts.

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were the laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 with the aim of punishing the colonists for their revolutionary acts (such as the Boston Tea Party), as well as attempting to display a power that would deter the colonists from initiating new actions (which did not work, as these laws instigated even larger uprisings by the settlers).

The Intolerable Acts closed Boston Harbor to trade, deprived Massachusetts of its right to self-determination and other ancient privileges, and limited the rights of settlers to exercise their political and economic freedoms, sparking protests and resistance, contributing to the War of Independence, which broke out in 1775.

What two groups made up the crowd that waited outside the federal arsenal?

valkas [14]

The raid on Harper's Ferry was an intent by John Brown, who was an abolitionist, to initiate a slave revolt in 1859 by taking control on the federal arsenal located in Harper's Ferry, Virginia.

The two groups that were outside the arsenal were:

<em>John Brown's "group of 22"</em>. This group of men was supposed to be supported abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. However, none of them showed up in the scene, as Tubman fell ill and Douglass was doubtful of a victory.
<em>A group of US Marines</em> led by Colonel Robert E. Lee.

The attempt was unsuccessful, resulting in the defeat of Brown's group by the US Marines.
