Question

Which groups were opposing the British and their policies in North America and why?

Answer 1

One of the major groups which rebelled against the British was the colonists. Their reasons for doing so, include unnecessary taxes, oppressive laws, and just a whole bunch of things related to the fact that Great Britain just wanted to stay in complete control. And the colonists didn’t want to deal with that. They just wanted to have a country to call their own, one that would ruled “of the people, by the people, and for the people”. Hope this helps.
