The American colonies rebelled against British rule primarily due to increasing grievances over taxation without representation, as exemplified by acts like the Stamp Act and the Tea Act. Colonists believed they should not be taxed by a Parliament in which they had no elected representatives. Additionally, growing desires for self-governance and resistance to British control fueled the revolutionary sentiment. These factors combined to drive the colonies toward seeking independence.
