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 party
Colonists grew increasingly angry and began the Revolutionary War.
Americans from all colonies reacted by trying to help the people of Boston.
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.
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 term "Intolerable Acts" was coined by the American colonists in response to a series of punitive measures imposed by the British government in 1774. These acts, aimed at suppressing dissent following the Boston Tea Party, included the Boston Port Act and the Massachusetts Government Act, among others. The colonists viewed these laws as oppressive and unjust, which ultimately fueled their desire for independence. Thus, the name reflects their perspective on British actions rather than the British government's intention.
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.
In a nutshell, they were angry because they had no direct representation in the British Government. Taxation without representation!

The Intolerable Acts were a series of acts meant to punish Boston. This means that if Parliament can do this to one colony, it can do it to all the others. However, the act that really angered the colonists was the Quebec Act. It gave the right to self government to the French in Quebec and extended the territory (think of it, they just fought a war with the French about this!).
The first is they had anal second they gave each other rim jobs
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.
It gave some courage and determination but made others unhappy.
