Since I am not personally a believer in the supposed divine right of kings, I do not see any basis for King George III to rule the American colonies against the wishes of the colonists. The colonists were basically in the right. Of course, their moral position was somewhat weakened by their continued practice of slavery, which was not to end until almost a century later. The colonists were no saints, either.
The colonists felt that the British government had no right to tax them because there were not any representatives of the colonies in the British Parliament. The colonies had no say in how much the taxes should be or what they should pay for. They didn't think this was fair.
How do you think British colonists evolved from being loyal British citizens to revolutionaries? Why?
If you mean England, the colonists hated the new laws because of the taxes the British were dumping on the colonists and how British was trying to control them. the 13 colonies eventually didn't like the british acts so much that they rebeled.
The American colonists wanted to have representation in the British parliament so they would have a voice regarding taxation. This was to the British, a privilege they would not support.
The British were taxing the colonists without representation in Parliament.
I think you are confused because it was not up to the colonists to protect British rule. It was up to the British forces.
yes the british had no right to tax the colonists

because they thought they were better than everybody eles
The colonists thought Parliament had no right to tax them directly.
The British did not at all approve of the way the colonists were fighting. Colonists were using what is known as guerilla tactics. The British believed in open fighting, in lines, on fields. The colonists were attacking from cover, and quickly disappearing. The British found this ungentlemanly.
They thought it was fair to tax the colonists.
The American colonists were British citizens, but they were denied the right to have representatives in the British government - a guaranteed right of those citizens still residing in England. It was known as "Taxation without Representation" and was one of several reasons that the colonists decided to rebel against "Mother England" and King George.
