I think the overwhelming reason was less an issue of taxes, and more an issue of Britain pressuring the ending of slavery which was the entire basis of the colonies economy. Britain levying taxes unilaterally was unpopular for 2 major reasons, they did not get any input from the colonies, and the money was being raised to pay debts related to the 7 years war, something the colonists felt they had no responsibility to pay.
The taxation was something easily sold to everybody, but the true concern of the ruling class was Slavery.
The 1772 Somerset Case ruling is a good place to start if anyone would like to read more about this.
Edit: to clarify, it’s not as black and white as I make it seem. But slavery was the major function uniting the south in the north’s bid for independence.

I’m not sure that there are online scans for the prima guide. The PSP ones are easily findable though.
I distinctly remember that guide being extra terrible. Not on the level of the FFIX official guide, more you could tell the person writing the guide had a blast but no real clue what they were doing.
Most modern submarines have steam powered propulsion and electricity generation. The nuclear reactor just acts like a rock heating up the water to make steam.

Possibly this one, it speaks to me as well
Fix it again tony
That’s most likely correct, my wording should have been better. I just chafe when I see the america settler colonial projects bid for independence framed only as an issue of taxation. With more reading of diverse sources Slavery focuses into one of the major motivators.
Further context can be found in the way the slavery conflict was written into the declaration of independence. Even with independence from Britain won, the uniting of the northern industrial and southern slave economies was on extremely rocky footing. By examining the Civil War you can trace the roots of major issues to the American War of Independence.
