Why colonial resistance to British authority increased?
The British ended its period of salutary neglect and began consolidating
control over the colonies. They imposed heavy taxes such as the:
sugar act: used to raise revenue
quartering act: house troops
stamp act: placed on legal papers and docs
All these taxes were passed without the consent of the colonial
legislatures
Declaratory Act: England declares power over the colonies because the
colonies were boycotting British goods. Added more taxes and the
money was used to pay off royal officials.
Taxes led to the Boston tea party, and Boston Massacre
