Question

The main reason the colonists were upset with England was because they had no one to speak for them in Parliament. A.True B.False

Answer 1

I think its false because the actual main reason why the colonists were mad with england was becasue of taxation.

Answer 2

True, representation in Parliament was a major reason why the colonists were upset with England. However, another major issue of contention was the issuing of taxes by the British on the colonies. The issue of taxation and representation were tied to one another. But the colonists when they sought independence made the decision that representation was not going to come and that it was necessary to demand the creation of a country of their own.
