Answer:

To help pay war debts from fighting the French and Indian War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British got back all land in North America after the French and Indian War and it caused millions of dollars in debt, so they were basically broke. They asked the colonies to help them out (financially), the colonies refused, so they just started taxing them.
