Answer:

They began to attack when England increased the control over the Colonies with the creation of taxes and laws that suppressed the freedom of the settlers. The American Revolution was supported by ideas such as liberalism (strongly based on the philosophy of John Locke) and representative democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

What became known as the American Revolution was started by colonial dissatisfaction with the increase in colonial exploitation in the Thirteen Colonies in North America. The main reason that led to the revolution was that England imposed several tax increases on the colonists.
