Answer:

The British were helping to finance the Indian-French war in North America, they protected the colonists but got really into debt, so they taxed the colonies more and more. One of these taxes was the stamp Act that forced people to pay a tax on any piece of paper they used in business ect. People were really mad because they didn't think that the British should be taxing them.

Step-by-step explanation:
