They believed thy didn't have to pay British taxes because they were the colonists after all
King George's army and navy were busy fighting wars all over the world, especially in the Caribbean. The taxes went to pay for these wars.
The taxes were to help pay for the French and Indian war. They reasoned that they were protecting the colonists and the colonists were English subjects so they should help pay for the war.
American Colonists
Because the British spent a lot of money on the french and Indian war.
the king of England
King George made them pay unnecessary taxes.
England put up taxes to the colonists because King George III needed to pay off some war expenses. The colonists did not want to pay these taxes for they did not to be ruled by England anymore.
The people of America were angry. The colonists did not like to pay high taxes to the King of England. They did not pay the taxes. The King of England sent an army to America. The army tried to make the colonists pay the taxes. The colonists wanted to be free from England. They started to fight the soldiers of the English army in 1775. The Americans started a war with England. We call it the Revolutionary War. George Washington was the leader of the American army. France helped the Americans during the War. The Americans won the war in 1783. They were free from England.
t was right because the colonist had to pay taxes and that money went to king george and england
to pay for British troops stationed in the colonies to pay for some of England's war debt to pay for officials governing the colonies
The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens.
His goal was to have the colonists pay for the war that they had just had with the Indians. The war I am referring to is the French and Indian War (1756-1763). It was rather costly, and the King decided that the colonists should pay. He created several laws & taxes, & one of them was the Stamp Act. He believed this was a good way to get out of debt, but the colonists thought it unfair, as they didn't have anyone representing them in Parliament, where they approve taxes/laws.
Colonists wouldn't pay their taxes and king george wasn't happy.
Taxes were to high for colonists to pay
because even though the king wasent helping them he made them pay taxes
Because they were extremely high taxes while those who lived in England did not have to pay as much.
