The colonists resented the new taxes imposed by Parliament after 1763 because they felt that they were being unfairly taxed without representation. The colonists had no say in the taxes imposed by Parliament, and they felt that it was unjust for them to be taxed without having any input in the decision-making process. Additionally, the colonists had just fought a long and costly war to gain their independence from Britain, and they felt that the taxes were a way for Britain to continue to control them.
