How did unfair taxes affect the colonists

Answer 1

It was one of the reasons for the big revolt that led to america becoming its own country

Answer 2

Unfair taxes angered the colonists to the point where they began to lash out and revolt.

They believed that it wasn't their fault that Britain was in debt and began to protest in the colonies, soon leading to the American Revolutionary War. Many protests such as the Boston Tea Party occurred and these continued as the unfair taxes were enacted.
