Before the United States was formed, the people who lived along the Atlantic coast lived in 13 colonies of England. The British government tried to rule the colonies from England. The British demanded that the colonists pay taxes on such things as sugar and tea that the colonists bought from England. The colonists refused to pay the taxes, because they did not have a voice in approving the laws that created the taxes. They were not represented in the British government."Taxation without representation"
