Revolt against the British

Why would the colonist dare to revolt against the British Empire? There are a number of reasons that led up to the revolt of the colonist. One reason is the British placed taxes on everything the colonist did including the Sugar Act which taxed sugar, coffee, and wine. Due to the fact that this happened the colonist were unpleased. They started boycotts by not doing business with the merchants, then the colonist would beat up or torture the merchants. This scared the rest of the merchants and they told the British which led to the repeal of the Sugar Act.  After the Sugar Act the British made the Stamp Act which taxed all documents, paper, playing cards and  any other paper goods. This again led to revolts, mobs, and more boycotts. The colonist beat up tax collectors and made riots in the cities. It also led to the creation of the Stamp Act Congress. The congress was created to end all the taxing on the Stamp Act. The congress drafted the Decoration of Rights which stated that the British did not have the right to tax the colonist without a representative. The British finally passed the Declaration Act which repealed the Stamp Act. The British also taxed lead, paper, paint, and tea. With colonies boycotting these items to the British finally stopped taxing everything accept tea. The colonist finally realized after they made the British repeal all the unfair taxes that they had the strength to become free and split from England.
