England had taxed the colonies unfairly, and they did not want the British soldiers, or redcoats, in their cities. Also, England did not let the settlers settle west of the Appalachian Mountains, so they were enraged. The Boston Massacre, where the redcoats killed several Americans, fed the colonists' anger as well.
