History Question

[timmy2fresh132]

What events and ideas between 1763 and 1775 led to the desire of many Americans to pursue independence by 1776? What did the British government do in this period and how did the Colonist respond? Why did tensions between the mother country and the colonist get so bad by 1775 that both sides were willing to fight against one another?

Thank you!!

They had a tea party in Boston, didn't like it, and decided that America would become a nation of coffee drinkers.
