∙ 7y agoGreat Britain was virtually bankrupt by fighting the Seven Years War with France. The French and Indian War, in which the colonists fought with the British against the French was a part of the overall Seven Years War. Britain needed money badly. It felt that since the war benefited the colonies by protecting them from being taken over by France, they should help pay for that benefit through taxes. Similar taxes were being imposed on British subjects in Great Britain at the same time. By maintaining a sense of control Great Britain felt more secure with their decision to protect the colonies from France. In doing so they also gained a consistent revenue from taxes. Due to the growing amounts of people fleeing from Great Britain's oppressive religious doctrine, and her wars.
