At first, many colonists did not support the rebellion against the British. This was especially true in the New England region. Over time, however, taxation without representation and British impressment of U.S. seamen triggered the dormant colonists to take arms against the Brits. This, of course, led to two wars of Independence, which was won by the colonial armies and militias.

What the colonists did to protect themselves from the actions of Parliament between 1765 and 1775 was to protest. They also refused to import the English goods. A good example of this was the Boston Tea Party.
