The leaders of the Dominion of New England angered the colonists by imposing strict, centralized control over the New England colonies, undermining their traditional self-governance. They enforced unpopular laws, such as the Navigation Acts, which restricted trade, and levied high taxes without local consent. Additionally, the dissolution of colonial assemblies and the appointment of unpopular officials further fueled resentment among the colonists, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and resistance.
