They organized boycotts of British goods, formed groups such as the Sons of Liberty, and held protests and riots against tax collectors. Many colonists also engaged in public demonstrations and petitions to express their opposition, ultimately leading to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
American colonists opposed paying British taxes primarily because they believed it violated their rights as Englishmen, particularly the principle of "no taxation without representation." They argued that since they had no representatives in the British Parliament, it was unjust for them to be taxed by a government in which they had no voice.

This growing resentment contributed to the revolutionary sentiment that ultimately led to the American Revolution.
