The colonists were being taxed to pay off England's war debt for defending the colonists in the French and Indian Wars. However the colonists had no elected representatives in the English government, which had legislated for these taxes and the means of collection. The colonists were not automatically opposed to paying a tax that paid for them having been defended, but they wanted some say in the voting on such taxes.

When was the American Revolution called the American Revolution?
The American Revolution occurred during the end of 18th Century between the 13 colonies and Britain. The American Revolution was called the American Revolution because of the fact that at the time the United States was under the power of British Parliament, up until the American Revolution when the United States took power and received independence through the American Revolutionary War. Britain still did not give American full independence until the War of 1812. This is not the answer to the question. The question was what was the origin/first use of the term 'revolution' in the context of the American war of independence. I am interested in the etymology of the word, not the history described here, which everyone knows ! Justlike my students who never answer the question asked, but some other question they thought they saw. Try again........
