The King's tax collector in Boston hit a guy and nearly cracked his skull open. The guy was trying to defend a child against the same assault. When the people went to serve a warrant against him the King's soldiers protected him.
It was barely about taxes. It was really about the shit treatment the British had for the American colonists which came to a head in the most corrupt part of the British empire, Boston.
Ya'll never wonder why we have that third amendment?
A lot of what I learned in school turned out to be bullshit. So things like this don't surprise me.
This is an excellent point. British soldiers, like most Euro-armies in colonies, received low pay and were just kinda expected by their leaders to help themselves to the resources of the local population. While this worked in most (non-White) dependent places, this was heavily resented in the largely (White) self-sufficient colonies.
