Since the British were low on money after fighting the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763), they King George and other British officials thought it would be a good idea to tax the colonists. Obviously, the colonists were unhappy about being taxed by a monarchy that was several thousand miles away. They also did not have any representation in the British Parliament to voice their dissent about the taxes. So, they began to refuse paying taxes under the clause "taxation without representation". The colonist's refusal to be taxed by the British government eventually became one of the factors that caused the American Revolution. Taxation was one of the many things the colonists disliked about King George and the British government.
