Causes of the Revolution
Taxes and harsh new laws led some of the colonists to go protest against the British. Sometimes, the protests turned violent. This only happened in some places. The British government ( the king) refused to listen. He ignored the colonists' demands for rights, and freedom. This lead to many disaggrements and eventually, the war.
