Answer: British troops were sent to America to enforce the Crown's strict tax laws.

Great Britain's government wanted to put an end to slavery in the Southern colonies.

Great Britain's government wanted to pay its war debt by taxing the colonists.

Step-by-step explanation:

The colonist didn't want to end slavery because they had free labor and because the British already had ended it in Britain. the British government was in a lot of debt so they made them pay extra on items, and they didn't want them to tax them because it wasn't fair because they don't live there and it was taxation without representation. the Crown's strict laws were ridiculous.
