There came a time when the American colonists began to resent the taxes imposed on them by Great Britain. Most taxes were used to finance the European wars between Britain and France. The favoured slogan originating during the 1750s and 1760s, became, "No taxes without representation!" In other words, they were paying taxes to the British crown, but getting very little back in return.
