You want five different opinions? Get three Americans together in a group.
As for the taxes, yeah, they (among other things) set the stage. The most active response to them was polluting Boston Harbor. (Which represented a *lot* of cash for the time, granted.)
The act of moving to confiscate the militia stores at Concord did trigger the first real fighting. The straw that broke the camel's back, thingie.
