Answer 1

Unfair taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the French and Indian War happened the Brithish had to spend money to win the war for the colonists. After the war the british goverment wanted to find a way to get their money back. They started taxing them. Example, teas act, stamp act, and sugar act. The Brith would aslo use force to get them. They started sendind their soilders to America. The colonists din't like these taxes and some wanted to rebel. "No taxation without representation," was why some people wanted to secead.
