The Reasons Of The British Colonies Colonit After The French-Indian War

The British had established a numerous amount of taxes, Townshend Acts, on the American colonies including taxes on tea, glass, paper, paint, and lead. The colonies did not like these laws (Brooks). This shows that the laws were not a big hit, they made the citizens upset. The laws or acts were not popular to the people, especially in Boston. This resulted to send more british troops to Boston in 1268, to help promote the new taxes (Brooks). This proves that the citizens did not like these laws they wanted to change them so the colonist roited. Boston citizens responded to the act by protesting british imports and vowed to find ways to increase manufacturing to make them less dependent on British goods (Brooks). This explains that the citizens did not like these laws so they started protesting. The laws were not very popular, it led to the colonists

Many colonists were angered because of high taxes England chose to enforce on them. These taxes were a result of the British participation and victory in the French and Indian war. However, what made the colonists even more angry was the fact that they were being taxed without representation in England’s Parliament. The colonists thought that, in order to be taxed by the British, they should have representation in it. They saw it as unfair to be taxed by a government they had no say in. As Patrick Henry said in his speech made to the Virginia House of Burgesses, “We can under law be taxed only by our own representatives...The Stamp Act is against the law. We must not obey it…” (Doc. 1). Since many colonists thought this taxation broke the law, some of them chose to protest by going to the House of Burgesses, boycotting imports, or simply not paying it in response. This response is justified; if

During the war, the colonists who were fighting, began to realize just how much they were deprived. The colonists observed how much more the British possessed and wanted the same since they were still Englishmen (Doc D). The English officials that came to lead in the colonies were not the most pleasant to work with and also were not superior listeners. The officers ignored what the colonists said, even if it was a colonial military leader. The colonial soldiers were seen as weak and inferior and were not respected by the officers. After the war, the taxes the colonists had to pay, also created new opinions in their minds (Doc G). Colonists began considering more about becoming separate from England and governing their own government. Revolutionaries propagated their ideas of disbanding as well. These theories created unity in the colonies but weakened the link between England and various colonists.

The French and Indian war (1754-1763) commonly known as the seven year war. The war was between New France and the colonies of British America. The reason for the war was for control of North America and the fur trade. The Treaty of Paris was the treaty that marked the ending of the French and Indian War. The treaty gave the British control over the area west of the thirteen colonies to the Mississippi River.

Since the first civilization Jamestown, the colonists slowly adapted and improved the environment of the land and gained more and more people due to the rapid overpopulation in England. But as the more advanced and smarter the people got. They began to import and export goods to other countries as a growing country, the British began to levy all kinds of trade regulation and taxes, all to stop the aid it was giving to other world power country that British was enemy and the selfish greed British had to only be the one gaining from the colonist. Therefore causing unsettling feelings of the colonies towards them, as they felt they are been treated unfairly and taking away what they felt is their own right and own money.

One of the major causes was the Stamp Act in 1765. This was issued by Parliament to tax every piece of printed paper colonists used. Other documents such as newspapers, playing cards and any form of printed publication were also taxed. Money collected by these taxations were used to pay costs of defending the American frontier. Colonists viewed this act of Parliament as means to raise money without legislative approval. ¨Reactions to the Stamp Act included riots and boycotts of British goods. Crowds calling themselves Sons of Liberty prevented stamped papers from being unloaded from British ships.¨ Another organization called the Daughters of Liberty was formed to promote production of homemade cloth, not imported by the British. Nine colonies met in New York City to create a statement in which the Stamp Act would be repealed.

Since great britain didn't get the taxes from the East Indian Trade Company, they had to get it somewhere else so they taxed the colonies. The colonies were enraged and started protesting peacefully.

The British Crown originally taxed the colonists to pay for the debt that was caused by the French and Indian War. Many colonists thought it unfair because they were being charged to pay a debt that they felt they did not owe. The rebellion started small, and grew over time. The British response was to create more acts and laws to suppress the colonists. The patriots’

What caused the colonies to separate from Great Britain was that Great Britain decided that people in the colonies needed to have troops to maintain the peace between the colonists. They hated that the British had neglected them for so long and then out of nowhere they came and made changes that the colonies did not agree on. This caused some major controversy between the colonist and the troops, that later lead to the event of the Boston Massacre, where five colonist where killed. To make matters worst the Parliament decided to tax the colonist for the “helping” of the troops as well as restricting where people could settle. In 1764 and 1765 the sugar and stamp act were passed latter followed by the taxation on imports such as paper, pain,

To begin with, Tensions rose when Britain enforced taxes to the colonies without representation. Parliament first enacted the stamp act in order to raise revenue. The Colonists believed that parliament only had power to impose taxes on trade, not for the sole reason of paying debt, John Dickinson wrote in document 2. This is important because

The French and Indian War had a vastly negative impact on the relationship between the American Colonies, and Great Britain. After the war, Great Britain obtained a far more powerful presence in current political, and economic affairs than it had had before. In the years following the war, Britain imposed heavy taxes, and regulations on the colonies in an effort to pay off debt from the war. These taxes led to feelings of resentment in the colonies, and therefore, the colonists began to question whether or not Britain had the right to tax them. Eventually, the colonists began to fight for independence from Great Britain.

After the French and Indian War (as is known in America) the British decided it needed to have more command and control of the colonies. Reasoning behind this was that colonial expansion was invading on Indian lands. This created tensions and required fighting support from British troops and therefore the British felt it necessary to make policies. It was also expensive to provide the fighting force and no taxes or funds of any sort were being collected from the colonies, causing the British to go into debt.

Then the colonists started to revolt when they made the Stamp Act Congress to boycott British goods. In response, Britain passed the Declaratory Act that allowed them to tax whatever they wanted. The colonists were also angered about how they were treated by the British. During the war, the colonists saw themselves as equals to the British soldiers but Great Britain ultimately disagreed. The colonists felt like they were lower than the British and this made them furious when they also fought with their life on the line.

During the French Indian War, two parties were fighting together with the colonists and Britain. Although they were fighting for two different reasons, the colonies wanting personal security and Britain soldiers fighting for their country, they successfully fought off the French and gained their territory. After the war, Britain suffered a financial crisis and had to start taxing the colonies that had already suffered a great loss from the war. The colonists already wanted representation but the taxing just fueled their desire to be seen as equal, and even though at the time they may not have wanted a war they had just started the preparations for one. After the French Indian War, Britain was broke and they needed a way to make money.

The british were very unfair and very unattractive to the american colonies mostly because of power and money the american colonies just wanted independence and self ruling for their own colony that's why we had the american revolution. In the 1760s, shortly after the conclusion of the french and indian war, the british parliament passed a series of laws and taxes on the american colonies.They created unfair laws and taxes on the british.The colonist disagreed with great britain on the fairness of these laws and taxes which led to conflict between the two sides.Eventually, this erupted into the American Revolution.(doc 1) The american colonies wanted to make there own decisions and have their independence.But the british wanted to rule and make laws and taxes for the american colonies also to punish the americans for their wrong doings.The american colonies do organized protest in spite of these laws and actions.Patrick henry responds to the stamp act patrick says in one of his speeches king George is a tyrant he breaks rules he is a threat to his own people.When Patrick Henry puts that in his speech it really lets you know that what they were doing was wrong and for king George to be leading it makes it even worst because he knows what he is doing and did not really care alongs as the british colonies were getting money for the debt they were in after the French and Indian war.
