The Tea Act has lead to the American Revolutionary War. The British government accepted the East India Company(a key actor in the British economy) to sell tea in the colonies but the colonists never accepted giving the taxes so in Massachusetts they started doing the Boston Tea Party which occurred in Dec.16,1773. Colonists went on the East India Company's ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into the water. After that, the colonists had to go through their punishments, after about two years the Revolutionary War began.

One night, on December 16,1773 Samuel Adams and the organization, sons of liberty had dropped 342 chests of tea overboard because they did not want to pay there taxes on the British tea.British had needed the taxes to pay the solders. They received vengeance on Britain .This then started the The Intolerable Acts. http://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party

# data[].attributes.body
The Intolerable Acts occurred mostly in the Boston Tea Party because the British agreed to punish the Massachusetts colonists for what they have done in the Boston Tea Party. One of the intolerable acts was that the colonists were not allowed to bring hay from Charlestown to their hungry cattle. Another intolerable act was for the colonists to feed and shelter the soldiers hired to punish them and there were much more which the colonists did not like.

The Proclamation of 1763 declared that Indians owned the lands that they were residing on and white settlers in the area were to be removed. It was made because of the British victory over France and was issued by the British king George III. The Royal Proclamation was designed to calm the fears of Native Indians by halting the westward expansion by colonists while expanding the fur trade.

The Quartering Act made the colonial governments provide space for the British soldiers to stay. They also needed to be given food. They would need to be given candles, beer, bedding, food, and almost anything else that the The shelter and food was understandable, but the colonies needed to pay for the food and shelter without even a budget to start with! This act was said to be directly linked to why the American Revolution happened.   Lieutenant General Thomas Gage was one of the people who commanded during the French and Indian War (or as known as the Seven Years War) found it hard to find places for the troops to sleep and eat, even though it was required (1686 Mutiny Act).  There were over 25,000 troops sent from England to the colonies, and some of them didn't have a place to live and eat. After the long war,  Lieutenant General Thomas Gage reported the problems to the British Parliament, which is why the Quartering Act is there in 1765.

The Sugar act was after the molasses act. When the Molasses act was ending, they decided to come up with another act. That other act was called the sugar act. The sugar act was all because of the French and British war. The tax became higher for everything. For example, sugar, coffee, and certain wines. Not molasses though, the tax rate on molasses became from six pence to three pence per gallon. The Sugar Act and the Currency Act was why the Stamp Act

Because of the cost of the French and Indian War ( or Seven Years War ), Britain needed to tax the colonists, something they have never done before. The act took effect on November 1, 1765. The Stamp Act wasn't only on the stamps - paper, newspapers, magazines, and many other things but books weren't taxed. Every piece of paper used to make legal documents were taxed and the colonists were supposed to pay for them. Diplomas, wills, newspapers, certificates, calenders, contracts, etc needed to tax stamp, showing that they were taxed (because of the Stamp Act). The Stamp Act itself wasn't really fair because if the  colonists were taxed, why shouldn't the England people be taxed too with the same thing, since both the colonies and the main island of England basically use the same amount of paper, and just because the new land was the same piece of land that the colonists were in doesn't mean they really had anything to do to the war (maybe a little, but not as much.) so the people on the main island of England should be taxed, too! The British Parliament should know that the people from the colonies were the same people who were once (adults and some children) on that same piece of land, right?
