- Members of the colonies didn’t agree with paying taxes to Britain. This lead to their motto ‘No Taxation Without Representation.’
- The colonies didn’t like the laws imposed on them by Britain, including the Sugar Act, the Tea Act, and the Stamp Act.
- Members of the colonies were constantly being punished by the British for rioting, which made them even angrier.
