Writing defiant pamphlets
Boycotting taxed products deprived the Crown of the intended revenue.
Colonists opposed new British taxes by protesting violently and organizing boycotts of British goods. They formed groups like the Sons of Liberty, who were known for their aggressive tactics, including tarring and feathering tax collectors. Additionally, they used propaganda to rally public sentiment against British rule, emphasizing the principles of no taxation without representation. These combined efforts intensified colonial resistance and set the stage for the American Revolution.

Colonists opposed new British taxes by protesting violently during the late 1760s and early 1770s, particularly in response to the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts of 1767. The violence culminated in events like the Boston Massacre in 1770, where tensions between British soldiers and colonists erupted, resulting in fatalities. These protests were fueled by a growing resentment towards perceived injustices and a lack of representation in Parliament. The unrest ultimately contributed to the American Revolution.

The colonists who opposed the British were called 'Whigs'. Those who favored British and her King, were called 'Tories'. Those nicknames were also used earlier in the Reformation in England. Two other nicknames were 'Patriots' for the colonists and 'Loyalists' for the British supporters.

During the earliest times of the Colonial period, settlers pretty much ruled themselves. Colonists rose up to help the British regular army fight the 7 Years' War, which kicked the French out of Canada-- most were fairly satisfied. http://www.lavellecoleman.ie/
