How did other colonies show their support to Boston

After the passage of the Intolerable Acts, the merchants in other colonies closed their shops and others sent food and financial support to Boston.

Explanation:

The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts in 1774 as a means to try to punish the participants in the Boston Tea Party. Massachusetts colonists had earlier defied changes in taxation being proposed by the British Government and staged a public protest where they boarded ships and threw the chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. The British government subsequently passed more harsh laws restricting rights and freedoms against the residents of Massachusetts in retaliation. There were actions in support of the colonists' actions in Massachusetts from the other colonies. Merchants in other colonies shut down their establishments and sent other resources in support. It is considered one of the events leading up to the American Revolution as there was increasing dissatisfaction with the British colonial administration.
