CoachIn some ways the British were justified in taxing the colonists. The British stationed its army there to keep the French and Indians from trying to take over. Other governmental functions were provided by Britain that had to be paid for in some way. The taxation itself could have been justifiable but it was that it was without representation that the Americans objected to. They just wanted to have some say in those matters instead of having tax after tax imposed on them.

Why did the colonists go from loyal british subjects to declaring war with Britain?
The British were trying to make the colonists pay taxes to Britain and continue to serve them in ANY capacity. Basically serving the British as if they lived in Britain!

England wanted to keep control of the colonies. Colonists wanted to be separate from England.
