Even with the British sectors being present in America, relatively, American colonists experienced and lived in freedom and prosperity. Majority of the people lived in rural areas, growing different crops for a living. However, on 1763, there broke out a war between French and Indian which left Britain in great debt.
They were then forced to raised the taxes for them to be able to replenish the royal coffers. Colonists then were eventually forced to house the soldiers from Britain. These caused the outbreak and start of the American revolution.
