Why did the colonist consider taxation by parliament an especially serious threat to their freedom as well to their pocket books?

The colonists didn't object to all taxes - the problem was that there was no colonial representation in parliament, so many of the taxes levied by England didn't take into account many aspects of the colonial economy/lifestyle. England also began levying especially high taxes to raise revenue without considering any effect on the colonies.


Although the colonial army lacked equipment and money at the beginning of the war Congress could levy taxes which would alleviate the problem true?

false.


How did the founding fathers help the revolutionary war?

Prior to the French and Indian War (1756-1763), the colonists possessed substantial autonomy and individual liberty flourished. Following the conflict, the British Empire strongly challenged that autonomy and liberty, and also resolved that the colonists directly pay taxes into the imperial coffers to help reduce the huge debt incurred in the war. When the Founding Fathers resisted these taxes on the principle that Parliament did not possess the authority to tax the colonists, Britain attacked and denigrated colonial self-rule, declared colonists subject to any act of Parliament, re-imposed internal taxes, closed colonial ports, dissolved colonial representative assemblies, reorganized colonial governments, evaded the right to a jury trial when enforcing its policies, occupied colonial towns with imperial troops quartered in colonial homes, shot colonists, and declared the colonists in a state of rebellion.
