Question

Why the colonies became rebels?

Answer 1

Answer:

Or rather, they became revolutionaries because a crisis in a single colony spiraled out of control in 1773-1774, and the empire's harsh response to the challenge to its authority persuaded colonists everywhere that the British government really was bent on abridging their basic rights and liberties.

Answer 2

Answer:

One reason they rebelled was because of taxation without representation. Also, the British were violating basic rights and needs.
