The Stamp Act was a law passed by the British government that imposed taxes on many types of paper goods. American colonists hated it because it cost them money and because it implied that the British Parliament had the right to impose taxes on the domestic economies of the colonies (as opposed to imposing taxes on goods being traded into or out of the colonies).
The Intolerable Acts were laws passed by the British after the Boston Tea Party. The British called these the Coercive Acts. They were meant to punish the colonists for the violence and destruction of property that had occurred in Boston.
The Liberty Boys were a patriotic group. They are perhaps more commonly known as the Sons of Liberty. They were instrumental in opposing the Stamp Act and other British laws and in pushing for independence.
From this, we can see that these events and groups were most closely connected with the Revolutionary War.
