The greatest dissatisfaction among Americans was the high taxes levied by the British on many acts. Americans thought that if they already had to pay high taxes, they could have their representatives in the British Parliament when the laws were passed. Thus, the phrase "taxation without representation" arose. All this, along with Boston Tea Party, was a cause for inviting Americans to store ammunition by Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine. This led to initial struggles of Concord and a Revolutionary War. Those who stood in defense of independent America, headed by Washington, were called "Patriots", while colonists who remained consistent with the British Crown, and supported British reasons in the war, were called "Loyalists".
