After incurring heavy debt from wars with France including the Seven Years Wars and the French and Indian Wars, Britain decided to recoup its losses by setting up a mercantile system in its wealthy Atlantic coast colonies. Harsh tax laws like the Stamp and Townshend Acts drew a very negative response from colonists. These hostilities eventually led to the Thirteen Colonies War of Independence against Great Britain.
