It wasn’t really the taxes, that was their excuse to get the masses to agree to a rebellion.
The main reason was land. They wanted to expand west to continue growing cotton and tobacco. Kentucky and Tennessee were ripe for cultivation, however, the British empire had made a proclamation in the 1760s saying the colonies were not allowed to expand further into native territory.
The taxes were a tactic to get the poor people to die for them, so they could get rich off of stealing more land for these crops that destroyed the soil they already had

I’m sorry you never heard of the Royal Proclamation of 1763. Google is your friend.

Nerp.
Not worth my time. Sorry you hate reading.
And I am sorry you think you can just lay a massive claim with no evidence to support it.
Can you even name 5 of the signers without looking it up? No? So how did you mind read them?
