How were the intolerable acts different from the stamp act and tea act?

In: US History, American Revolution, Colonial America, The Intolerable Acts [Edit categories]

Answer:

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!).
