The colonists rebelled against England primarily because they desired the right to control the basic aspects of their economy. The imposition of various taxes and trade restrictions by the British government, such as the Stamp Act and the Tea Act, severely limited the economic freedoms of the colonists and sparked widespread discontent among them. This economic oppression played a significant role in fueling the American Revolution.
