The British were mainly taxing the Massachusetts colony. They also closed down Boston Harbor. Then, no ships could go in or out. The other colonies helped the colony by sending them products. Taxation as a common complaint led to communication and cooperation among the separate colonies.

How did the actions of the continental congress lessen the british control of the colonies?
They didn’t and that is why there was a revolution. The British reinforced troops in the colonies and became more aggressive.

The writer wrote that he thought “ the whole of London was landing.” There were so many ships.
Why do you think king George set out to achieve when he disciplined Massachusetts?
When he (and, more properly speaking, British Parliament) disciplined Massachusetts and the rest of the American Colonies with the 'Intolerable Acts' of 1774-1775, King George was seeking to achieve two goals. First, the Americans were to be punished (and were to pay) for recent destruction of British goods and abuse of British soldiers. Second, such conduct was to be prevented in future through the passage of the disciplinary acts in question.
