In the 1970s, a quite number of colonies have been established by the British. The colonists actually see themselves as subject of the king George iii. Through trade, the colonists were linked to Britain.
More so, during this period, the British placed limitations on trading and so for imported product and supplies, the colonists had to depend on Britain. Banks were not available and the money in circulation was not enough, so colonists made use of credit and barter to get what they needed.
After the French and Indian war, the Britain desired to extend his control into western territories. In 1763, a proclamation was issued by the king and the proclamation prohibits settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains. As a result of the king order, colonists who lived on these land were compelled to vacate it and return to eastern part of the mountain.
By the 1765, the quartering act was passed by the parliament and according to the act, the colonists are compelled to pay or find lodging for the British soldiers that resided in America.
During this period, the colonists were also taxed by the British to pay for the French and Indian war. These taxes involved the stamp act, which was passed in 1765. The stamp act entails the use of special paper with tax stamp for all types of legal documents.
Some other laws were also passed in 1767, which include the Townsend acts. This act compelled the colonists to pay taxes on goods imported such tea and many others.
