Why did the British tax America?

Here is the entire answer to your question, along with some background information: The American revolutionary era began in 1763. After a series of victories by British forces at the conclusion of the French and Indian War, the French military threat to British North American colonies was ended. Adopting the policy that the colonies should pay an increased proportion of the costs associated with keeping them in the Empire, Britain imposed a series of direct taxes followed by other laws intended to demonstrate British authority, all of which proved extremely unpopular in America. To put it more simply, Britain taxed America to help pay for debts left from the French and Indian War.
