In 1763, England won the French and Indian War against France that had been fought in North America, and so the English speaking settlers on the East Coast could stop worrying that they were about to be taken over by France. First the colonists cherised the political rights they enjoyed. But then the britsh have to pay the debts that war created. The English government began to make the the colonists pay more taxes. This brought the English a lot of money, but this piss off the colonists. They were angry because they couldn't vote or speak for themselves in England about these taxes. The colonists said this was "taxation without representation" and said it was wrong.
