The 13 colonies believed that they deserved all the rights that people in Britain had, while Britain thought that the 13 colonies were best used in a way that benefited their country (crown,parliament). The British tried to impose taxes on the colonies because King George III had spent a lot of money on the French and Indian War. The colonies were outraged. One of the most famous outcries was the Boston Tea Party (taxed tea was shipped out and a bunch of colonists dressed up as indians decided to throw the tea into the ocean)
