American Minute with Bill Federer
March 7

On March 7, 1774, the British passed the Boston Port Act, closing the harbor to all commerce to punish the colonists for the Boston Tea Party.
Surrounding towns rallied by sending food to Boston. William Prescott, commander at Bunker Hill, wrote:
"Providence has placed you where you must stand the first shock...If we submit to these regulations, all is gone. Our forefathers passed the vast Atlantic, spent their blood and treasure, that they might enjoy their liberties, both civil and religious, and transmit them to their posterity...
Now if we should give them up, can our children rise up and call us blessed?"
Upon hearing of the Boston Port Act, the Virginia House of Burgesses passed, May 24, 1774:
"This House, being deeply impressed with apprehension...from the hostile invasion of the city of Boston in our Sister Colony of Massachusetts Bay, whose commerce and harbor are, on the first day of June next, to be stopped by an armed force,
deem it highly necessary that the said first day of June be set apart, by the members of this House, as a Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, devoutly to implore the Divine interposition, for averting the heavy calamity which threatens destruction to our civil rights.”
