The end of The French and Indian War influenced
both the colonial Americans as well as the officials in
the British government. In many ways, it led them
both on a path to the American Revolution. It also
continued to influence people and their actions even
after the Revolution began.
Fighting the French and Indian War was expensive
for the British government. It had borrowed money
and needed to pay it back. The British had gained a
lot of land from the French in North America,
including many forts. After the war, they stationed
British soldiers in the former French forts, which
was also expensive.
In order to help pay for the soldiers and their debts,
the British government decided to tax the American
colonists, which they had never done before. The
colonists had only been taxed by their own colonial
governments. The first taxes were the Sugar Act of
1763 and the Stamp Act of 1764. The Americans
didn’t think these taxes were fair because they had
no elected representatives in the British government.

though the taxing might have been a little much for the

colonists wanted the extra land that they would receive

why I think that it was fair to tax the colonists.
