Both the French and the English colonies wanted to control the fur trade.
After the French Indian war, Britain decided to leave an army in the American colonies. The colonists saw that as an occupation army to strenghten British control over them. The English Government however saw it as a protection for the colonists in case the French should renew the war and invade from Canada. Britain thought it reasonable that the cost of a 'protection' army should therefore be borne by the colonists. The colonists however were incensed that they should pay and house the soldiers sent to control them.
