What were the three reasons conflict escalated between the colonists and Britain?

1. They did not have representation. The main reason for conflict was because they were being taxed with out representation in congress. Britain continued to add taxes and the colonists continued to get angry.

2. They were ruled from Britain. The colonists were not legally allowed to rule them selves. They had to get any new laws approved by congress over seas, which could take months.

3. Colonists could not move west. Britain passed a law (not use what it is called) that made it illegal for colonists to pass the Appalachian mountains.

1. unfair taxes 2. unfair government 3. They still "belonged to Britain"
