Why the colonist were resentful of Great Britain?

Answer 1

the colonists were resentful because the british taxed them without first consulting with them about the taxes. the british instituted many acts and policies that forced colonists to pay for goods they were exporting. tea was a major one, because the tea act gave a monopoly to the East India Company. this meant that only that company could sell tea. because the americans had to pay money to a govornment that, because it was three thousand miles away, showed them no beneits, the americans revolted.
