After the French and Indian War, the British government sought to recoup its war expenses by asking the American colonies to pay higher taxes. This led to the implementation of various tax measures, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, which were met with resistance and protests from colonists who felt these taxes were imposed without their consent. The growing discontent ultimately fueled the desire for independence and contributed to the American Revolution.

Did the French or the Indian start the French and Indian War?

Sort of. He was a young British officer when asked to escort a French diplomat and while doing this the man was killed by an Native American that was part of the party. Washington was blamed for the death because he was in charge and even though he couldn't speak or read French he signed a confession in French admitting to the death.


Why did many Native Americans side with the French in the French and Indian War?

The French colonies were less of a threat than British colonizers. The French had mostly small outposts of trappers and traders. The British colonies had exploded in population since their establishment and were clearly looking to expand into lands that the Native Americans currently occupied. The style of British colonies did not have any place for Native Americans. This was clear when the British commander in charge of fighting the French, General Braddock, was asked by Shingas (a local leader of the Delaware Indians) whether the tribes who allied with Britain would be allowed to live and trade with the English and have land of their own. General Braddock replied that "No Savage Should Inherit the Land"

What costs did Prime Minister George Grenville think should be paid so he asked Parliament to pass the Sugar Act in 1764 to tax American colonists?

Prime Minister George Grenville believed that the costs associated with defending and administering the American colonies, particularly after the costly French and Indian War, should be borne by the colonists. He argued that since British troops were stationed in North America to protect the colonies, the colonists should contribute to these expenses through taxation. The Sugar Act of 1764 was introduced to impose duties on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies, aiming to raise revenue to help offset these financial burdens.

Consequence of the seven year war?

Known also as the French/Indian War (in respect to its North American theater), the Seven Years War led to significant changes for Great Britain and its colonies: it left Great Britain very nearly bankrupt, and it removed a hostile power (the French) from North America. The most important consequence of these changes was that it infused the British Colonies with an even greater spirit of independence, which would soon lead to conflict with the homeland -- and American independence.
