StellarAftermath of the French and Indian War
When the war ended, this was a significant turning point in the colonies’ relationship with the British. This was mostly because of the dissonance in how both sides saw the war. The colonists viewed the French and Indian War as proof that the colonies were very strong when they worked together, while the British saw them as weak and couldn’t organize themselves even to protect themselves. Additionally, while the colonists believed that because they fought for the overall British cause they did not need to pay extra to support the British debt, Parliament believed that since they spent the money trying to protect the colonies, the colonies should be the ones that repaid Britain through taxes.
