Final answer:

The correct chronological order of events is: French and Indian War, Stamp Act, Boston Tea Party, and Intolerable Acts. These events contributed to increasing tensions that led to the American Revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events leading up to the American Revolution can be placed in chronological order based on the legislative acts and significant protests that occurred between the British government and the American colonies. Here is the sequence of events as requested:

  1. French and Indian War (Seven Years' War): The conflict between Britain and France in North America, which lasted from 1754 to 1763. This war set the stage for colonial discontent due to the subsequent taxes imposed by Britain to pay for the war debts.
  2. Stamp Act: Passed in 1765, this act required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper from London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp.
  3. Boston Tea Party: This act of defiance occurred in 1773 when American colonists, frustrated by the Tea Act which gave the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales, boarded ships in Boston Harbor and dumped tea overboard.
  4. Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts): A series of punitive measures passed in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, which included the Boston Port Act closing the harbor until the dumped tea was paid for.

The Intolerable Acts were punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party

French and Indian War/Period-1754 – 1763

Stamp act-March 22nd 1765

So they are already in order
