How did the colonist react to the new taxes imposed?

The colonists reacted to the new taxes imposed by the British government with widespread anger and resistance. They organized protests, formed groups like the Sons of Liberty, and boycotted British goods. Many colonists argued that the taxes violated their rights as Englishmen since they had no representation in Parliament, leading to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation." This growing unrest ultimately contributed to the escalation of tensions that sparked the American Revolution.
