The correct answer is A) Colonial tax laws required such high payments for land that families could not afford to separate.
Why did many people in the colonies live in extended families? Because Colonial tax laws required such high payments for land that families could not afford to separate.
Let's have in mind that this heavy taxation was a major cause for the beginning of the American Revolutionary War
American colonists were sick and tired of the unfair laws and legislation imposed by the British government. Colonists were tired of the heavy taxation imposed by the English monarchy such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, or the Tea Act, among many others.
The ultimate decision came when these colonists were angry and upset about the fact that they had no voice or representation in the British Parliament. Colonists knew that by then, they were capable of establishing their own form of government.
