The Intolerable Acts were laws that were set by Great Britain onto the colonists, after the Boston Tea Party. These laws were essentially punishments for the colonists trying to rebel and act out on Great Britain. These acts are known for being very harsh on the colonists. Many of the colonists thought they were unfair and these laws started to push them closer to revolution.
The Boston Port Act was just one law under the Intolerable Acts and it closed the Boston port until the colonists had paid for all of the tea they had dumped in the harbor during the Boston Tea Party. Since the port was closed so tightly, only wood and food could go through the port, not even hay for horses. This was a major complaint from colonists, as they felt it was unfair that all of Boston was paying for what a couple of people had done.
The Quartering Act was another law under the Intolerable Acts and it made it so the colonists were forced to house British soldiers if needed. This really angered the colonists, as they wanted to keep their distance from the British troops. This distance was now tarnished, as they were forced to house them, even cooking for them and washing their clothes. Since this was such a major complaint by the colonists, they assured that this would never happen again by creating the Third Amendment, which prohibits soldiers from being quartered in homes without consent.
The colonists had many complaints about the Intolerable Acts, these are just a few. They despised these acts and deemed them to be entirely unfair and once again believed that Great Britain was abusing their power.

Hi there!
African Americans who stayed in the south worked together to improve their lives. One example is them building communities together.
Hope this helps!
The person in question is Woodrow Wilson:
He was the president of the United States from 1913 to 1921, which means that he was the president before, during and after the First World War.
He was very active in the peace process after the war, including proposing the formation of the League of Nations.
