The colonists' anger toward the British Parliament led to the organization of the First Continental Congress and British parliament and King George III were not happy with the colonists but were annoyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

It may appear that all the criticisms of the colonists were against King George but the reality is not that. The colonists specifically blamed the parliament for not giving representation of the colonists in the British Parliament. This annoyed the colonists.

The colonists were relentlessly oppressed by the taxes and they were not given an ear to listen their grievances from their perspective and slowly until the second continental congress was formed and colonists were trying to appeal the King with 'Olive branch Petition'. King rejected their appeal and this finally enraged the colonists who plunged into protests and intended secession from the Crown.
