They protested violentely against birtish taxes
One effect of the new British taxes on colonist were protests.
The colonists initial goal against the British was for lower taxation. Instead of lowering taxes the British increase taxes. The increased taxes led to the Revolutionary war.
The colonists let the Parliament know that they were against british taxes by throwing british goods into the water. This was called the british tea act.
It is estimated that about one third of colonists protested taxes.
One significant way the colonists protested against British taxes was through the formation of the Sons of Liberty, a secret society that organized demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience. They famously staged events like the Boston Tea Party in 1773, where they dumped British tea into Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act. Additionally, colonists boycotted British goods and rallied public opinion against taxation without representation, effectively mobilizing widespread resistance to British policies.
The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens.
Colonists protested taxes passed by parliament because colonists had NO representatives in parliament

Colonists protested against taxes on goods in a few ways; some were peaceful, others weren't. The most famous example of a tax protest was the Boston Tea Party, but there were other ways of protesting. Colonists wrote letters to their local newspapers, boycotted goods, smuggled, petitioned Parliament and Royal governors, tarred and feathered the tax men, etc.
