King George raised taxes so high on the Rebels that the rebels were forced to boycott England tea. The symbolism of boycotting tea is that everybody used to drink tea and they used to drink tea from England, but since they boycotted it they couldn't drink tea anymore.Tea time is still a high priority in England today. Anyhow, the Rebels decided that they had had enough of King George's taxes and tariffs and thus, the Revolutionary War started. King George just made sure the Redcoats had the supplies that they needed (from food, clothing, and housing); which is why stories of George Washington's army being barefoot and still winning the war is so significant.
