The British started to tax the colonists on everything.
taxation without representation, the bringing of goods to the colonies which the colonies didn't ask for and didn't want to pay for, the Boston tea party, in which the British attempted to collect tax from the colonies, whereupon the colonists dumped all the tea into Boston harbor. The Britain representatives attempted to give orders to the colonists on all things, which was resented by the colonists.
There were many things that led to the revolutionary war. Taxation without representation being one of them, along with the treaty of Paris. Britain started to rule over the 13 colonies in 1763 and wanted to discourage all emigrants (colonists). Of course many of people that lived in the colonies were colonists and did not like their rule. Britain highly raised taxes which led to the Boston tea party of Thursday December 16, 1773. People dressed up as Indians to protect other colonists. This didn't work, and then the Boston Massacre occurred. There is also a lot of confusion about the Rev. war too. Some people think the proclamation of 1763 caused it. No, it didn't that just separated Indians and the colonists from each other.
The Tea Act resulted in the colonists boarding the tea ships and dumping the tea in the Boston Harbor - The Boston Tea Party.
Freedom from Tyranny. The King of England was continuing to charge outrages taxes for everything needed by the colonists. There was no representation of the colonists in British Parliament.
