Great Britain placed heavy taxes on the colonies.
The main complaint was that they were being taxed at an extraordinarily high rate on imported goods from Britain and felt unable to do anything about it because they weren't represented in the British Parliament. Their slogan at the time was 'No taxation without representation'.

to battle against the colonists, because the British troops tried to revolt against them
The British imposed a lot of different taxes on the colonists and kept troops there.
