Which is an important reason that American colonists rebelled against England in the 1770's?

After the French Indian war, Britain decided to leave an army in the American colonies. The colonists saw that as an occupation army to strenghten British control over them. The English Government however saw it as a protection for the colonists in case the French should renew the war and invade from Canada.
