The Quebec Act, 1774 .-- In the same year that Parliament passed the four acts to punish Massachusetts, it passed another act which affected the people of other colonies as well as those of Massachusetts.
This was the Quebec Act.

It provided that the land between the Ohio, the Mississippi, and the Great Lakes should be added to the Province of Quebec.

Now this land was claimed by Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

These colonies were to be deprived of their rights to land in that region.

The Quebec Act also provided for the establishment of a very strong government in that province.
