Taxation without represenation
dghbf
The British raised taxes on American colonists in the 1760s primarily to address the massive debt incurred during the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and to cover the costs of maintaining British troops in North America. They believed that since the war had benefited the colonies, it was fair for them to contribute to the expenses through taxes, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. This taxation without representation ignited widespread resentment among colonists, ultimately fueling the desire for independence.

The British changed their economic and political policies towards the colonists from 1763 to 1775 because of the rebellion shown by the colonists. The British tried to impose their financial burden due to British wars on the colonists via various ways including taxes but the colonists rebelled.
They were very touched, but... NOT IN A GOOD WAY... They strongly opposed their new Policies. Hated it enough to start a boycott, establish the Committee of Correspondence, the Boston Tea Part. And Eventually War with the British.

Most colonists smuggled goods because they felt they were being unfairly taxed by the British Empire and this was a way to get around it.
