Answer:
The New York banker pushed the limits when he exchanged his mansion for a Cartier necklace valued at $1 million in 1917 which he gave to his young wife.

Explanation:
Taxes like the stamp act were thought of as ridiculous and overbearing. The colonists hated them because they were allowed no voice in parliement to oppose them. The intolerable acts were, as you may have guessed, intolerable to those living in Massachusetts--they were deliberately put in place to alienate massachusetts from the rest of the colonies, and make them feel grateful it wasn't them being punished.

Acts like the Quartering act, which forced american colonists to let British soldiers live in their homes for indeterminate lengths of time, were considered shameful and incredibly arrogant.

Potatoes became especially important to the cultures of Northern Europe, especially Ireland, Scotland and the Scandanavian countries that have short growing seasons and have populations who need products that store well for long winters. This is one of the properties of the potato. Unfortunately, there was a large famine called the Great Irish Famine due to a fungus that infested the potato harvest in 1845. There was not much genetic diversity of the species that were introduced and this contributed to the scale of the collapse.
