The British raised taxes in the American colonies to pay for the fighting of the French and Indian war. They also expected colonists to pay for their own defense from the continued threat of Indians. Colonists were outraged by the taxes, and some began to organize protests

What did the patriots of the revolution fear?

The founding fathers were constantly afraid of being captured an executed by the British. I believe Franklin said: "We must all hang together or we will all hang separately" The hang separately part refers to actually being hanged. Civilians who were patriots were openly abused by the British. Just like those who were more conservative and were loyalists were abused by Americans. Because of this many families had an American flag and a British flag. They would raise the American flag when the Americans were about and the British Flag when the British were about.

Why did parliament create new tax laws for british Americans after 1763?

Parliament created new tax laws for British Americans after 1763 primarily to raise revenue to pay off the debt incurred during the French and Indian War. They believed that the American colonies, being beneficiaries of British military protection, should contribute to the cost of their defense. Additionally, the British government wanted to assert its authority and control over the colonies, which were increasingly seen as a valuable source of revenue.
