The Bostonians made it impossible for any negotiations. They were just out of control up there. They were put under martial law because of all their shenannigans.

The Colonists petitioned Parliament and the king the first Continental Congress passing a petition that asked the king to intercede on the colonies behave because as loyal citizens the colonists were entitled to have a say any taxation leveled against them. This was sent to London and not looked at by the King.

Benjamin Franklin tried to get his pro-colonial friends to pass legislation that would compel Parliament to explore all avenues with the colonists and deal with them as equals also unsuccessful.

Even after the war had begun the colonists were trying to get the King and Parliament to negotiate but they wouldn't consider it .
The rest they say is history.

At first they formed into a loose organization of colinists called Regulators. They petitioned the governors of their colonys in order to recieve relief from the crown. This typically fell on deaf ears, so they took matters into thier own hands. They destroyed product that had been taxed by the crown as well as attacked the corrupt local sheriffs and judges. This Regulation eventually gave birth to the revolution we hold so dear.

back in those days the art of negotiation consisted of taking 30 seconds to load your musket, then firing it at a redcoat.

that kind of negotiation worked very well. soon all of the redcoats were gone.
