When did the Colonists start being taxed at a higher rate than subjects in England?

After the French and Indian war the colonist started being taxed at higher rates than the people in England. The British began taxing the colonists in 1763.


What British goods did the Colonists boycott?

Actually, they didn't boycott goods as much as it seems. They did what we would do and that is to look for the cheaper price. One of the goods involved was tea. Many goods the colonist bought were from colonial smugglers because they were cheaper. When the British lowed the price of the tea it made the Dutch tea higher in price so the smugglers were loosing money. Two of the biggest smugglers were Hancock and Hamilton . Hancock supported, organizesd and paid for the Son's of Liberty. This was an economic issue and the smugglers were fighting for their lives.


Why did the colonists have trouble getting financial support and supplies from Europian countries?

They really didn’t have problems. The British passed trade laws but the colonies went around those and smuggled in things. One of the problems was when the British lowered the tea tax that made the smuggled Dutch tea higher in cost. The Boston Tea Party was the final result.
