A significant cause of conflict between colonists and American Indians in Virginia was the colonists' insatiable demand for land. As settlers expanded their agricultural practices, they encroached on Native American territories, leading to disputes over land rights and resources. This tension was exacerbated by cultural misunderstandings and differing concepts of land ownership, ultimately resulting in violent confrontations and wars, such as the Anglo-Powhatan Wars.
The French and Indian war created the debt. The British expected that American colonists to repay it to Great Britain during the 1760's.
The success of the American colonies, particularly in terms of population growth and economic prosperity, led to a stronger sense of self-determination and increased desire for independence among the colonists. As the colonies developed their own political institutions and sought greater autonomy, tensions grew between them and the British government, which attempted to assert more control and impose taxes on the colonists. These conflicts eventually culminated in the American Revolution.
The main conflict of the Boston Tea Party was the imposition of tea taxes by the British government on the American colonies without their representation or consent. The colonists believed that this violated their rights and liberties as British subjects.

The success of the American colonists during the Revolution can be attributed to a combination of both American strengths and British failures. The colonists displayed significant resilience, strategic advantage from their knowledge of the terrain, and strong motivation for independence.
