In 1776 the British imposed the Currency Act, colonies were no longer allowed to have paper money. Prior to this act, the British government wanted the majority of the wealth that were there for the taking. They passed all kinds of Acts such as the Manufacturing Act, the Stamp Act, the Navigations Act. They also taxed the Colonists on almost every product they purchased. To say the least, the colonists became very angry and started to revolting since they feel they have very little voice in these matters. These acts did not start the revolution but it was a major factor.
