The American colonists revolted against the British in 1775 primarily due to taxation without representation, as they were subjected to various taxes imposed by the British Parliament without having any elected representatives to voice their concerns. Additionally, the growing desire for self-governance and the perception that their rights as Englishmen were being violated fueled resentment towards British authority, leading to calls for independence.
