It depends how far back you are talking about. If you are talking back to the 1700s it would be cotton. If you are talking about a time period even father back than that, sorry, I can't help. Hope this helped.
Answer:
it was taxation without representation. the king, who keep in mind was miles across the ocean, was violating the colonists' right to be taxed without their consent. The French and Indian War left the king with a large war debt to pay. He tried to collect the money by placing taxes on the most common goods which only enraged the colonists. The colonies had no representation in parliament meaning that they had no one to represent their interests. Some interpret this as meaning that because the colonists have no spot in parliament, they are not consenting to be ruled. the colonies had set up their own form of government (because it was in their home and not miles across the ocean) and were abiding by its rules. then suddenly a king from across the ocean demands money from them. this was unfair to them because they had not consented to being taxed.
Our history
Guinness World Records - originally the Guinness Book of Records - the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements, started out as an idea for a book of facts to solve arguments in pubs.

The idea came about in the early 1950’s when Sir Hugh Beaver (1890—1967), Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery, attended a shooting party in County Wexford.
There, he and his hosts argued about the fastest game bird in Europe, and failed to find an answer in any reference book.*
In 1954, recalling his shooting party argument, Sir Hugh had the idea for a Guinness promotion based on the idea of settling pub arguments and invited the twins Norris (1925—2004) and Ross McWhirter (1925—75) who were fact-finding researchers from Fleet Street to compile a book of facts and figures.
Guinness Superlatives was incorporated on 30 November and the office opened in two rooms in a converted gymnasium on the top floor of Ludgate House, 107 Fleet Street.
