This act drew a line going north tosouth down the Appalachian mountains and said the colonists could not pass the linewithout permission of the British. -
The Proclamation Reaction
One of the biggest things this cause was no more frontier colonial expansion. But the colonists didn’t like it because they already had land west where they weren’t allowed to go. This also made the royals more in control of the land they gained from the Native Americans. So instead of them listening and following the new rules and regulations they ignored them. -

They were scared, they thought that this took their basic rights. A lawyer, James Otis said that they shouldn’t be taxed by the parliament because they had no say in the parliament. The colonists were starting to get mad, the New York legislature said that there would be no more happiness, liberty, or security now that their colonial life was being interfered with. -

The Stamp Act Reaction
Even though it wasn’t meant to anger the colonists it did because they saw it was a threat to their rights and liberty, and now Britain is using their money for a military establishment.

So because of the stamp act people started to boycott British goods, or they just wouldn’t buy or use stamps because they wanted it to end. -

There wasn't a big reaction becuase the stamp act was just stopped so they in a way agreed to i they knew it had to be done. But some people were upset becuase this made it seem like some other acts were comeing this angerd some people they didn't agree with it at all. -

The Tea Act Reaction
They didn’t like it at all they thought again it was just a way for Britain to get them mad. So to show them they were upset about the taxes on their tea they had the boston tea party, where they dressed up as Mohawk Indians and threw hundreds of chests of tea in the ocean. They dressed up as Indians so they wouldn’t know it was the colonists, but one man turned himself in so they figured out who participated in it. -
Tea Act
this act said that American colonists could not buy tea unless itcame from the East India Company. This is because the East Indian Company was notdoing very well and the British wanted to give the company more business. Thislowered the price for tea but the colonists were made that they could not buy fromanyone else. -

Intolerable Act
This made was a big outrage and people we not happy. But they did this for a reason they wanted to teach them a lesson for what happend in the boston tea party.
