ANSWER :
When people consider the causes of the American Revolution, the slogan "No Taxation Without Representation" comes to mind. And so does the Boston Tea Party (1773), the Stamp Act (1765), and those "Sons of Liberty" tarring and feathering British officials in the streets. That is, of course, for those who actually have a clue about the American Revolution. For most people, a question about the causes of the American Revolution would probably draw blank looks or that "deer-in-the-headlights" expression.

∙ 12y agoWhat role didn't taxes play in the American revolution... The British government needed money from the colonies (especially from America being large and the most profitable). The Americans simply attested such tax acts as the Tea Act, Stamp act, Molasses act , ect. Because of the high rates they had to pay. Another reason why the British taxed the American colonies so much was because the English run East India Trading Company , wich was going out of business and they needed money to keep it form going out of business. --This sparked the tea act and the resulting Boston Tea Party.

∙ 13y agoThe British & Americans fought over certain rights of the colonies. The British believed that the colonies were created to fulfill only the rights suited by the crown (the King) and the Parliament. As oppose to how the British felt, the Americans were of the opinion that they should all be able to have equal rights as do the Englishmen. This conflict embodied "Taxation Without Representation." "Taxation Without Representation" is a situation in which a government imposes taxes on a particular group of its citizens, despite the citizens not consenting or having an actual representative deliver their views when the taxation decision was made. This situation was one of the triggering events that spurred the original thirteen American colonies to revolt against the British Empire.
