Unquestionably.
Prior to the Founding of America, most citizens of the continent only had to promise fealty to the King and pay your taxes.

Prior to the Revolution, the citizen here paid between 1 and 2 shillings/year. You guys didn’t have representation in the Parliament, which was the bigger complaint.

Didn’t they have to quarter British soldiers too? (The quartering act) I imagine that probably didn’t make them happy either.
