Question

Which statement tells what the American colonists thought of the British

Answer 1

Answer:

The British government did not have the same interests as the colonists

Explanation:

During the later European wars of the 1700s, tensions between the British Empire, and the American Colonies grew. The British were interested in maintaining control over the colonies in order to extract resources from them via taxation.

The American Colonies were interested in keeping the great degree of indendependence that they were accustomed to, and were demanding no taxation without representation.

This tensions gradually grew over time and finally led to the American Revolutionary War.
