The main reason why the colonists wanted to break away from Great Britain was "taxation without representation." Great Britain were taxing the colonists, through things like the Stamp Act, and the colonists felt like this was unfair. They did not get a say in what they were being taxed on and how much it was. They had no representation in British Parliament and had no way to make these decisions, so they felt it was unfair to be taxed. This made the colonists end up boycotting the products that were being taxed, leaving Great Britain with not as much money to pay war debts. Another reason was Great Britain sometimes made large armies stay with the colonists, who were normally armed. Great Britain then made the colonists provide housing for them, along with cooking, and even paying for them.

KiRa [710]

The correct answer is B; Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.

Further Explanation:

During the Prohibition, there were two groups of people the "wets" and the "drys." The wets were strictly "anti-Prohibitionists." The "drys" wanted the Prohibition.

The wets got what they wanted when the 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933. It had started in 1920. The wets bootlegged liquor and sold it underground. They would cross borders with loads of liquor and would flaunt the drinking in front of the drys.
