The Levy War, also known as the Levy Tax War, was a conflict in 1754-1755 in the Province of New Jersey between the colonial government and the local militia over issues of taxation and military service. It stemmed from attempts by the colonial assembly to impose a levy to fund military preparations against French and Native American threats during the French and Indian War. Local militia members resisted the levy, leading to violent confrontations, and the war highlighted tensions between colonial authorities and the citizenry over governance and representation. Ultimately, the conflict was resolved, but it underscored the growing dissatisfaction with colonial governance in America.
