The Revolution began because the colonials opposed the British rule when the British wanted to impose harsher taxes and more laws onto them. They wanted to be free whereas the Brits wanted to put them under their control even more.
"King Philip’s War — also known as the First Indian War, the Great Narragansett War or Metacom’s Rebellion — took place in southern New England from 1675 to 1676. It was the Native Americans' last-ditch effort to avoid recognizing English authority and stop English settlement on their native lands. The war is named after the Wampanoag chief Metacom, later known as Philip or King Philip, who led the fourteen-month bloody rebellion."
