Question

True or false? The British government imposed taxes that the colonists resented in order to pay for the debt created by the French and Indian War

Answer 1

This statement is true. After the French and Indian wars in which Britain expanded its colonies in America, there was disagreement with the colonists. One of the reasons was that Britain resented colonists at some border disputes that colonists had on the western frontiers. The second reason was huge debt during the French Indian War, which the British wanted to compensate for the introduction of high taxes. Thus, the victory and expansion in and after the French and Indian War quickly led to conflicts that would lead to the American Revolution.
