Intolerable Acts & 1st Continental Congress
In 1773, the Boston Tea Party was planned as a protest in opposition to Britain's taxes against the colonists. Britain reacted with the Intolerable Acts, by closing the Boston Harbor and putting more laws into effect. The colonists decided to dispute the Intolerable Acts because it became clear that the British had too much control over the colonies. Here you can read about a meeting between the colonists to discuss the Intolerable acts, and the convention that later became known as the Continental Congress.

Stamp Act PBS
As Britain struggled to come up with a way to pay for wars and its military, they came up with what they thought was a great idea in the 18th century. They could tax their successful colonies in the New World. After all, they had spent a lot of money establishing the colonies. The colonists didn't like that idea at all. They had no voice in Parliament and didn't think they should pay taxes to the British government. To protest the Stamp Act, they refused to buy imports and closed all the businesses in New York.
