The Intolerable Acts made the American colonists so angry because of the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and taxes. The British would make their own materials with stamps that on it that approves that it is from the British(they could only buy items from the British). Then the Tea Act in1773. The law allowed British merchants to sell tea in the colonies for less money than anyone else. Many colonists saw this as an attempt by the British government to force other tea merchants out of busness. Once the other tea sellers were shut down, the British would raise the prices on their own tea. To the colonists, this was unacceptable. The British government put tax on everything!
