Taxation without representation was one reason. But unfair prices was also a factor. The colonists were not allowed to buy cheap products from the Caribbean unless they came from British ships. They also were denied trade from Holland and France. Loyalty was mostly a one-way street. Britain wanted to make money off the backs of the Colonists to pay for their stinking wars. The colonist had little say in how they were being exploited.

Because, they felt that the taxes levied were wrong. Additionally, many of them might have felt that if they failed to uphold the boycott, their neighbors and friends would be disappointed in them.
