Over the past week or two we've been discussing and reading that the British King and parliament have been taxing with out good moral reasoning other than profit from the colonies.
Over the years they had taxed everything from tea to paper and it doesn't even make sense to the colonist because there is no reasons tax other than sheer profit. The colonist were also very poorly represented. The colonists where represented by parliament. The king and parliament said every one is subject to parliament and King. Where as in the colonists mindset they expressed that the colonies were in equal with the King and Parliament. The kings and parliament had put up with and laughed at the previous actions of the colonies as if they were a teenager throwing a temper fit and threatening to run away. They saw all of this as cute and actually eventually gave in to the teenage colonist wishes. proving to the colonists that if they say the things that are bothering them and on their mind they can change the way England will treat them. So things started to brew like the colonists started to boycott the English goods and instead smuggled the Tea and goods from the Dutch Merchants. This enraged England and they lowered their price to lower than what the Dutch merchants. Even this didn't stop the Americans colonies from boycotting since they knew it would work. This all eventually led to the Boston tea party. All of these events were big influences saying that the American colonies can work around the British and that England does not scare them. Which is why they DARE  to rebel.
