The colonies disagreed with England over the issue of taxation. After the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Parliament determined the colonies should help pay the costs of the war. They enacted legislation, taxes and tariffs and instituted a form of mercantilism on the colonies in an effort to bolster Englandâ??s coffers. The colonists protested this and widely disagreed with the economic sanctions. In addition, the colonists were not being given representation for their taxes.
