They actually objected to excessive duties and taxes. In addition, the British government passed a series of laws, called the Intolerable Act or Coercive Acts, that including the Quarting Act, which mandated that any citizen had to house and feed British soldiers without notice for whatever period was deemed necessary. It's believed that if England had not over-taxed the Colonies without representation, and treated them more like British citizens, there would have been no revolution and the Colonies would have continued as part of the British Empire.
