Why were taxes such a problem with American colonists?
Taxes were a significant issue for American colonists primarily because they were imposed by the British Parliament without their consent, violating the principle of "no taxation without representation." Colonists felt they had no voice in the decisions affecting their lives and finances, leading to widespread resentment. The Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, among others, sparked protests and boycotts, as colonists believed these taxes were unfair and burdensome. This growing discontent ultimately fueled the desire for independence and revolution.

What abuse did the king of Britain do to the 13 colonies that made them sign the declaration of independence?
"Abuse" is probably not the right word. And it was not the King in person by then who ruled Britain and its colonies, it was the British government and Parliament. What happened was that a couple of taxes were imposed that were highly unpopular amongst the colonists, who then unsuccessfully demanded that taxes should and could only be imposed on them if they were adequately represented in the British Parliament. One of the unpopular measures was that Britain had left a sizable army in the colonies after the French-Indian war and levied a tax on the colonies to pay for its upkeep. Britain held that the army was there for the colonies' protection in case the hostilities were renewed, so it was only right that they should pay for it. The colonies saw the army as an occupation force and considered having to pay for it as adding insult to injury.
