The British had the most biggest military in the world. Also Britain was thier mother country.
There were several reasons that the colonists were upset about the taxes that they were required to pay by the British Parliament. These taxes were very high and there was no way to voice their opinions on the issue of taxes as there was no representatives for the colonists.
The colonists did not respond well to British taxes. These colonists were outraged that they were being taxed the way that they were.
Cause they had no representation of the taxation
American colonists objected to British taxes because the colonists had no vote on the taxes and no representation in the British parliament. The colonists' catchphrase for protests was "taxation without representation", because they were being taxed without representation in the parliament and that's why they were mad.
The colonists did not want to be taxed. In retaliation, the British government enacted even more taxes and rules for the colonists.
Colonists paid a disproportionate share of taxes.
Colonists protested taxes passed by parliament because colonists had NO representatives in parliament

The new taxes made the colonists angry because the taxes on improved England had not helped the colonists at all. This caused the Boston tea party after the tea act was passed. The colonists disguised themselvs as native Americans and dumped tea into the Boston harbor. the colonists dived into two: the patriots and the tories. The patriots were against the king and the tories were sided with the king. Benjamin Franklin's son was a tory guess what im only eight. i hope this helped
The colonists found themselves in debt to the king primarily due to the financial burdens imposed by the French and Indian War, which left Britain with significant war expenses. In an effort to recover these costs, the British government enacted a series of taxes on the colonies, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, without colonial representation in Parliament. These taxes increased resentment among colonists, who felt they were being unfairly taxed, leading to a growing demand for independence. Consequently, the financial strain and lack of political power contributed to the colonists’ debt and dissatisfaction with British rule.
The taxes were to help pay for the French and Indian war. They reasoned that they were protecting the colonists and the colonists were English subjects so they should help pay for the war.
The colonies disagreed with England over the issue of taxation. After the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Parliament determined the colonies should help pay the costs of the war. They enacted legislation, taxes and tariffs and instituted a form of mercantilism on the colonies in an effort to bolster Englandâ??s coffers. The colonists protested this and widely disagreed with the economic sanctions. In addition, the colonists were not being given representation for their taxes.
