Explanation:

British taxation policies like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts angered the colonists. They responded by reducing purchases of British - made goods and organizing boycotts as a form of protest against the unfair taxes. The colonies were not independent of Britain economically at that time, and they did not eagerly pay taxes. Moving inland was not a direct result of taxation policies in terms of spending decisions.

Answer:

Colonists reduced spending on British goods and organized boycotts instead.
