British taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, primarily affected the colonial upper class by increasing their financial burdens and provoking resistance against British rule, ultimately leading to calls for independence. For the colonial lower class, these taxes exacerbated economic hardships, as they often had to bear the brunt of increased costs for goods and services. In Britain, the working class faced their own struggles, as the revenue generated from colonial taxes did little to alleviate their poverty, leading to resentment towards both the government and the wealthy elite profiting from colonial trade. Overall, these taxes deepened class divisions and fueled discontent across all groups involved.
