Question

At the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, the British government maintained a national debt in excess of 122 million pounds sterling. Which of the selections listed below was a result of this situation?

Select one:

B. taxes were raised on the colonies
C. trade with France was encouraged
D. tax revenues from the colonies decreased

Answer 1
