Why did the colonies and Britain fail to achieve a compromise to avert hostilities?
postnew [5]
The main reason is that neither side was willing to compromise on the idea of taxation. The British need revenue to pay for the French and Indian War, and the colonists were upset that they had no representation in Congress. There was little-to-no room for compromise.
