The taxation of the North American colonies came as a result of the French and Indian War, rather than during the war. Britain was tapped financially after fighting the war, as well as the greater Seven Years War in Europe. Some believed the prosperous colonies were not paying their fair share in terms of both their war expenses, as well as in their duty to provide financial tributes to the mother country. As a result, a series of tariffs, taxes, and policies following the war, resulted in antagonism, acts of resistance, and eventually, the Revolutionary War.

The problem rose with the tax when the smugglers' of Dutch tea was higher than the British tea. This was business. The population of the colonies really were not concerned about taxes.
