Best Answer

The British government felt that the colonies were rightfully theirs and a part of the British Empire. When the colonies began to increase their independence from Britain, the government pushed back with stricter laws, taxes, and regulations. The tension that built as a result of this eventually erupted into protests like the Boston Tea Party and violent incidents like the Boston Massacre, all of which contributed to the conflict that became the Revolutionary War
