<span>In a word - taxes. Taxes to cover the expense of that war.
Taxes were the single most important point of tension between the colonists and the British crown.
Britain had spent 90 million pounds during the French and Indian War.
The British felt that Americans should share the expense of the war which was fought in large measure for the protection of the colonists.
Deficit spending was very undesirable in the thinking of economists at that time. To make up deficits in the treasury, the British added new taxes that the colonists rebelled against.</span>

How did the industrial revolution start pollution

Sonbull [250]

The industrial revolution impacted the environment. The world saw a major increase in population, along with an increase in living standards. This led to the depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels. With factories typically being heat based and burning coals, toxic waste would be built up and ultimately dumped into nearby rivers. Thus creating the pollution of water and air.

I would say Social/Religious causes. He is promoting the "Britons" as a benefit to all of humanity even to the point that he is justifying the taking of other's lands. He does not say anything about economic benefits to these people or political benefits, merely that Britons are honorable so they deserve it.
