Answer 2

Answer: The French and Indian War led to colonial dissatisfaction with Great Britian due to increased taxes caused by Britian's war debt.

Explanation: Though Great Britian was successful in the war, the longevity of the conflict meant that Britian had financial troubles due to the great cost of such a conflict. Because Britain saw the colonies as a part of them, and they were at this point, Britian only thought it was fair that the colonies also pay their own portion of the debt caused by the war. Britian's argument for this was that the war had settled border disputes in North America and thus, was beneficial to the colonists. This idea of paying taxes was not popular with the colonists who were used to years of salutary neglect from Britian. This sudden change in Britian's attitude with dealing with the colonies made many colonists indignant.
