How could the British and the colonists have avoided the conflicts led to the American Revolution

Britain could have given the colonists representation.

Explanation:

The british did something called "taxation without representation". It was when britain taxed the colonists' impute. This is what led to the boston tea party.

another answer is that the colonists could have stopped harrasing british officers. I am american but i know that the colonists were being terrible to the british. this led to a fight in the street and a dead man. this was the boston massacure, even though only five people died. this "massacure" was then exagerated in how it went and turned the colonists against the british.

Hope this helps:)
