Explicación

## Step 1The question is asking for one of the main grievances that the American colonists had against the British government. The American colonists had several grievances against the British government, but the most significant one was the imposition of taxes without representation in Parliament.## Step 2The colonists believed that they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no representation. This belief was encapsulated in the slogan "no taxation without representation."## Step 3The other options provided do not accurately reflect the primary grievances of the American colonists. The British government did not refuse to provide colonists with free land, nor did it ban slavery in the colonies. Additionally, the British government's support for the French Revolution was not a primary grievance of the American colonists.
