Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The British increased taxes on the colonies without their consent, leading to significant opposition from American colonists. The most famous example of such opposition was the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped imported tea into the harbor to protest against British taxation. This ultimately led to the American Revolution. The other options are not historically accurate: B is partially true, but the alliances with the Indian tribes alone were not sufficient to trigger the Revolutionary War; C is entirely false, as there was no assassination of King George III; and D is also false, as the British did not attempt to end slavery in the colonies.
