The colonists reacted to the new taxes imposed by the British government with widespread anger and resistance. They organized protests, formed groups like the Sons of Liberty, and boycotted British goods. Many colonists argued that the taxes violated their rights as Englishmen since they had no representation in Parliament, leading to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation." This growing unrest ultimately contributed to the escalation of tensions that sparked the American Revolution.
The American colonists did not have a say in the laws and taxes, so they felt it was unfair to have them imposed. The American Revolutionary War began in 1775.
that they were no good
Colonists resented the new taxes imposed by Parliament after 1763 primarily because they believed these taxes were unjust and were enacted without their consent, encapsulated in the slogan "no taxation without representation." They felt that as British subjects, they should have a voice in the legislative processes that affected them. Additionally, the taxes were seen as a means for the British government to recoup debts from the French and Indian War, further fueling resentment over perceived exploitation. This growing discontent eventually contributed to the American Revolutionary sentiment.
The Townshend Acts, The British Government called for new taxes in 1776. SO Parliament passed the Townshend Acts. The Townshend Acts said that the colonist had to pay taxs on all tea, paper, glass, lead, and paint imported from Britain. SO basically the Townshend acts made people pay taxes on certain items, people hated the new taxes and they could not afford them. So The Colonist Buycotted the tea (refused to buy it) Which lead to other events but that was mostly all about the townshend acts taxes boycott which i think it lead to the tea act all taxes where off exept for the tea.
Stamp act The new tax that was imposed on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper was called the Stamp Act.
