The right answer is the last one: transcendentalist thinkers. Transcendentalism was a philosophical, religious and literary movement that originated in the US (specifically as a reform movement within the Unitarian Church) approximately between 1836 and 1860. Based on Romanticism, Hinduism and Rationalism, transcendentalist thinkers believed in the capacity of each individual consciousness (without the need of religious mediators or ideas), in his/her purity, independence and self-reliance, which society and its institutions have corrupted.

The French and Indian War ended in 1760 and Britain was left with a massive amount of debt. Parliament felt that the colonies hadn’t been contributing enough tax-wise which is true since the colonies had enjoyed salutary neglect prior to the French and Indian War. As a result, they decided that the colonies should share the burden and raised taxes.
