Question

Why did colonies start to resist?​

Answer 1

Answer:Historians say the main reason the colonists were angry was because Britain had rejected the idea of 'no taxation without representation'. Almost no colonist wanted to be independent of Britain at that time. Yet all of them valued their rights as British citizens and the idea of local self-rule.

Answer 2

The British Taxed unfairly, and they wanted to have the power to govern themselves. “No taxation without representation” refers to the fact that there weren’t any American representatives in Parliament, so they couldn’t have a say in the laws they had to follow. Hope this helped!
