Question

Which English/British policies affected colonial attitudes?

Answer 1

When the French and Indian War finally ended in 1763, no British subject on either side of the Atlantic could have foreseen the coming conflicts between the parent country and its North American colonies. Even so, the seeds of these conflicts were planted during, and as a result of, this war. Keep in mind that the French and Indian War (known in Europe as the Seven Years' War) was a global conflict. Even though Great Britian defeated France and its allies, the victory came at great cost. In January 1763, Great Britain's national debt was more than 122 million pounds [the British monetary unit], an enormous sum for the time. Interest on the debt was more than 4.4 million pounds a year. Figuring out how to pay the interest alone absorbed the attention of the King and his ministers

Answer 2

The Quartering Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quartering Act allowed British soldiers in the 13 colonies to stay in colonists' houses. The colonists had to house and maintain the soldiers for as long as needed. This wasted many colonists' money. To add to that, the soldiers very often treated the colonists very poorly.
