The Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British to punish colonies that were openly rebelling. They were triggered by the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Instead of regaining control, the laws only caused more revolt. The situation escalated into the Revolutionary War.

What effect did the acts intolerable stamp tea etc have on the colionies?
Great Britain, the King and Parliament, were creating taxes to pay for the French and Indian War, or Seven Years' War. This war was fought on the soil of the colonist and for the protection of the colonists, therefore, Britain reasoned, the colonists should have to pay for the cost of the war. The Parliament and the King created these taxes without consent from the colonies; the colonies had no representation. Taxes like that would never have happened on the Great Britain mainland because they all had representatives in Parliament.
The Intolerable Acts were also known as the Coercive Acts. They forced the colonists to do what ever the British wanted. That includes giving housing and food for free away to the British soldiers.

What did the colonists do about the intolerable acts?
The colonies united and responded quickly to a call from Virginia for a Continental Congress that was to meet in Philadelphia in September 1774 to seek a redress of the colonists grievances.
On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty, led by Samuel Adams, planned to show Parliament how they felt about the Tea Act. They boarded the British ship Dartmouth docked in Boston Harbor, dressed up as Indians, and dumped the entire load of tea into the water. This event came to be known as the Boston Tea Party.
The historical significance of the Boston Tea Party is recognized more in the British response than in the event itself. As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the following laws designed to punish the Americans.
1.) The Coercive Acts - These acts, including the Boston Harbor bill, closed the harbor to all commercial traffic until Americans paid for the tea they dumped.
2.) The Administration of Justice Act - This act required the extradition (transfer) of all royal officials charged with capital crimes in America to courts in Great Britain.
3.) Massachusetts Government Act - This act ended self-rule in the colonies and made all elected officers in America subject to British appointment.
4.) Quartering Act - This was simply a new version of the 1765 Quartering Act which required Americans to provide accomodations (housing , food, clothing etc.) to British soldiers if necessary.
5.) Quebec Act - This act extended the Canadian border (British territory) into the Ohio River Valley and eliminated lands that were claimed by Massachusetts, Virginia and Connecticut.
These acts were called the Intolerable Acts in America and resulted in the formation of the Continental Congress.
