In what ways did the British treat the patriots harshly? Was this a good or a bad idea ? Why?

They taxed them very heavily. It was a terrible idea because it caused them to lose the colonists (patriots)

They taxed them and did not agree with freedom. It was a bad idea because it led to a revolution.
