Before the French and Indian war Britain promised colonists that they wouldn't tax Them in order to pay thei debt of the war, and instead promised to give them land, however they did the exact opposite. The colonists received no land, and to pay off the debt of the war they started putting taxes on things causing the tea act, stamp act, sugar act, etc.
