The Intolerable Acts were laws that were set by Great Britain onto the colonists, after the Boston Tea Party. These laws were essentially punishments for the colonists trying to rebel and act out on Great Britain. These acts are known for being very harsh on the colonists. Many of the colonists thought they were unfair and these laws started to push them closer to revolution.

The Boston Port Act was just one law under the Intolerable Acts and it closed the Boston port until the colonists had paid for all of the tea they had dumped in the harbor during the Boston Tea Party. Since the port was closed so tightly, only wood and food could go through the port, not even hay for horses. This was a major complaint from colonists, as they felt it was unfair that all of Boston was paying for what a couple of people had done.

The Quartering Act was another law under the Intolerable Acts and it made it so the colonists were forced to house British soldiers if needed. This really angered the colonists, as they wanted to keep their distance from the British troops. This distance was now tarnished, as they were forced to house them, even cooking for them and washing their clothes. Since this was such a major complaint by the colonists, they assured that this would never happen again by creating the Third Amendment, which prohibits soldiers from being quartered in homes without consent.

The colonists had many complaints about the Intolerable Acts, these are just a few. They despised these acts and deemed them to be entirely unfair and once again believed that Great Britain was abusing their power.

Write an obituary on Richard Arkwright
Yuri [45]

Answer:Arkwright is considered the father of the modern industrial factory system and his inventions were a catalyst for the Industrial Revolution.

Richard Arkwright was born in Preston in 1732, the son of a tailor. Money was not available to send him to school, but his cousin Ellen taught him to read and write.

He began working as an apprentice barber and it was only after the death of his first wife that he became an entrepreneur. His second marriage to Margaret Biggins in 1761 brought a small income that enabled him to expand his barber's business. He acquired a secret method for dyeing hair and travelled around the country purchasing human hair for use in the manufacture of wigs. During this time he was often in contact with weavers and spinners and when the fashion for wearing wigs declined, he looked to mechanical inventions in the field of textiles to make his fortune.

By 1767, a machine for carding cotton had been introduced into England and James Hargreaves had invented the spinning jenny. With the help of a clockmaker, John Kay, who had been working on a mechanical spinning machine, Arkwright made improvements that produced a stronger yarn and required less physical labour. His new carding machine was patented in 1775.

Arkwright's fortunes continued to rise and he constructed a horse-driven spinning mill at Preston - the first of many. He developed mills in which the whole process of yarn manufacture was carried on by one machine and this was further complemented by a system in which labour was divided, greatly improving efficiency and increasing profits. Arkwright was also the first to use James Watts' steam engine to power textile machinery, though he only used it to pump water to the millrace of a waterwheel. From the combined use of the steam engine and the machinery, the power loom was eventually developed.

From 1775, a series of court cases challenged Arkwright's patents as copies of others work, and they were revoked in 1785. Nonetheless, Arkwright was knighted in 1786 and by the time of his death on 3 August 1792, Arkwright had established factories in Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire and Scotland, and was a wealthy man.
