The Intolerable Acts were a punishment for the colonists by King George III. The Intolerable Acts were put into effect after the Boston Tea Party. The Intolerable Acts were one of the final straws that broke the camel's back in regards to the start of the American Revolutionary War.
The American colonies refused to submit to the Intolerable Acts of 1774. The Continental Association was formed to boycott British goods, and the colonies pledged to support Massachusetts if they were occupied by the British. A plan to stop exports to Britain after a year was never implemented, because open warfare erupted at Concord and Lexington just five months later in April, 1775.the Boston tea partyColonists grew increasingly angry and began the Revolutionary War.Americans from all colonies reacted by trying to help the people of Boston.
In a nutshell, they were angry because they had no direct representation in the British Government. Taxation without representation!
The Tea Act let the company bypass the tea merchants and sell it directly to the colonists. The Intolerable Acts were four laws that the English colonists passed because they were so harsh. There was a fifth law that was called the Quebec act. It was a setup government for Canada, that gave complete religious freedom to french catholics.
When England closed Boston Harbor, they accidentally gave the colonists a way to meet. Other colonies brought supplies to Boston since nothing could be imported or exported. Thus the first Continental Congress resulted.

The Quebec Act. This law set up a government for Quebec. It gave Quebec area west of the Appalachian Mountains and north of the Ohio River.
The Intolerable Acts helped unite the colonists. It helped unite them because the colonists supported Boston. The committees of correspondence spread the news of the Intolerable Acts. People from other colonies responded quickly to help the people of Boston, who faced hunger while the port was closed. This was partially because of the Boston Tea Party.
There were 5 Intolerable (AKA Coercive) Acts: Boston Port Act--closed port of Boston until colonists paid East India Company back for the lost tea Massachusetts Government Act--brought government of Massachusetts under British rule, stationed British governor in Massachusetts, limited town meetings to one per year Administration of Justice Act--gave accused British officers the right to move the trial to their home country (England) Quartering Act--forced colonists to open their homes to British soldiers and feed and house them for an indefinite amount of time Quebec Act--not related to Boston Tea Party, and therefore sometimes exclused from list of Coercive Acts; enlarged "Province of Quebec" and let people freely practice Roman Catholicism
They Gave the Colonists more taxes, and sent in redcoats to demand them to pay.
