The British imposed a lot of different taxes on the colonists and kept troops there. The major complaint was that they said: No taxation without representation -meaning , they would not pay any taxes unless the British invite them to the Papliamant and they could have a say in the government and decide how the tax should be spent.

Why did the colonists fight the British?
The English viewed the American colonies as a way to earn money. In this way, the British taxed the colonists and allowed them little freedom. The colonies didn't have any say on what decisions were made, and the decisions that were made were made across an ocean. They were constantly patrolled by British officers, the things that they produced were taxed for benefit of the British, etc. etc. Eventually, the colonists grew tired of being controlled by England and decided to rebel. Personally, I think the main reason that the colonists wanted to rebel was that they were a separate place - across an ocean! - and they wanted their own say into the decisions that affected them.
