The placement of the Stamp Act in 1765 angered the colonist because Britain was taxing them and abusing their power just to make Great Britain revenue, the Proclamation Line of 1763 angered colonists because it meant that the colonists could not move West, and the enforcement of mercantilism angered the colonists because the colonies existed to enrich and benefit Great Britain, which affected the colonists’ economy.
