    BRITISH
    PERSPECTIVE
    In order to pay for the debts of the
    French and Indian War, the British
    began to tax the Americans highly. Tea
    and other products had a tax placed
    on them. The British also believed this
    would stop the Americans from
    rebelling, due to lack of resources.

    COLONISTS PERSPECTIVE
    The colonists felt like they were being
    unfairly treated. They had no representation
    in Parliament, but were still being taxed and
    ruled by the British. They thought that they
    should either be represented in parliament,
    or have independence from the British.
