Ok so basically after the French and Indian war Great Britain didn’t allow the colonist to settle in the Ohio river are thingy, which was basically what they fought the war over, and since Great Britain was in a lot of debt they started taxing the colonists. So the colonists were being taxed and weren’t allowed to settle where they wanted too
