Explanation:

Colonial began to use the slogan of no taxation without representation and became unfriendly towards the Britishers because of the taxes imposed on them. Colonists believed that as they were not represented in the British parliament, paying taxes was unconstitutional, and a denial of the rights as a subject of English.
