After the French and Indian War, the British increase their
troops in the colonies. The reason for
this was to ensure that the colonist would be protected should the Indians
launch an attack. However, this cost
money. To pay for the costs, they impose
a series of taxes on the colonists. Such
as the Revenue Act of 1764 that imposed tariffs on molasses. This was followed by taxes on other items
such as silk, wines and potash.
Unfortunately , the colonist reacted with outrage and anger over the
taxes imposed on them and later on it led to the American Revolutionary War.
