On this day 250 years ago in London, the British Parliament enacted the Quebec Act or Canada Act. This Act extended the boundaries of the Province of Quebec south to the Ohio River, blocking the expansion of the American colonies westward and providing for trials in the expanded Quebec territory by judges without juries. Although the Quebec Act was not introduced in response to the Boston Tea Party, the Patriots considered it the fifth Intolerable Act.

Also on that day at a public meeting at the Court House in what is now the town of Montross in Westmoreland County, Virginia, adopted resolutions in support of Boston drafted by Richard Henry Lee. In two years Lee would become famous for introducing the resolution for Independence from Great Britain that was adopted by the Second Continental Congress.
