After the French and Indian War, the British had spent so much money they were in debt, so they decided one way to get money was to tax the colonists. the colonists never had to pay much taxes before and didn't have a representative in Parliament to address their concerns. That is why they made such a deal about paying all the new taxes the king put on.
