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 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.

By refusing to purchase British goods, colonists effectively pressured merchants and manufacturers in Britain, leading to economic strain. This collective action united the colonies and demonstrated their dissatisfaction with British taxation without representation. Ultimately, these boycotts contributed to the repeal of several unpopular taxes, such as the Stamp Act.

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.
