Answer 2

My guess would be the series of oppressive English law passed against the American colonies, such as the Stamp Act, which pushed us over the edge

Answer 3

Taxation without representation was one of them, I think. You'll have the do your own homework for the rest. BTW, that's intolerable. Don't be afraid to consult the glossary and index of your textbook. They are located in the back.
