The Tea Act was created by parliament in 1773 and it made it so English tea was marketable in America. When the Townshend Acts were removed on everything except for tea the British India company was not doing well financially and they wanted to sell 17,000,000 pounds of tea stored in England. Because of this the Tea Act made it so there was tax on the tea so they could pay off the Townshend duty and still sell tea at a lower price then their competitors. However, the colonists did not like this and they thought each shipment of tea represented taxation. This led to the Boston Tea Party.(Britannica Academic) (Tea Act). The Boston Tea Party happened on December 16th 1773 and it was when Americans were protesting both a tax on tea and what they thought was a  monopoly of the East India Company. (Britannica Academic) (Boston Tea Party). According to the Boston Gazette of 20 December 1773 a bunch of brave men protested the East India Company by emptying every chest of tea on board the three ships commanded by captains Hall, Bruce, and Coffin which was a total of 342 chests thrown into the sea (Boston Gazette).

The next figure is Thomas Gage. Thomas Gage was a British general who helped shape the Intolerable Acts. He came up with the idea that the port of Boston should be closed till the destroyed tea is paid for.

The Intolerable Acts led to the American Revolution because the rules that were created outraged the colonists. Because the colonists hated the rules they formed rebellion and went against the government to get their independence from Britain (Library of Congress) (The Colonies Move Toward Open Rebellion, 1773-1774).

What was significant about the Intolerable Acts was how the colonists responded to the rules put on them. When parliament created these acts they thought it would cut Boston out from the rest of the world and make the colonists trapped under British rule but it did just the opposite. It showed that the colonists were not scared to rebel for their independence and it also showed the bond Boston had with the other colonies, for they were sending the colonists supplies and help (Britannica Academic) (Intolerable Acts).
