Intolerable acts
The Colonists felt that they were justified in refusing to obey certain British laws and officials. With the Stamp act, they were being taxed without having any say in the government that was taxing them. They also did not need the British soldiers telling them what to do, because they felt they were no longer British citizens.
The Colony that seemed to take the lead in disobeying British laws was Massachusetts. Massachusetts had the largest sea port at the time. Strategic actions were taken in Boston Harbor to let the British know the Colonists did not want to obey British tax laws.

They were called "Rebels" or "Rebel"
