Why did Edmund anger the residents of Massachusetts?

Edmund angered the residents of Massachusetts primarily due to his authoritarian governance style and the imposition of unpopular policies, including high taxes and the enforcement of the Navigation Acts. His actions were perceived as an overreach of power, undermining local autonomy and traditional rights. Additionally, his attempts to consolidate control and diminish the influence of local leaders further fueled resentment among the colonists. This discontent contributed to the growing tensions that eventually led to the American Revolution.
