Question

Analyze the ways in which British imperial policies between 1763 and 1776 intensified colonials’ resistance to British rule and their commitment to republican values (this is for an AP US History essay)

Answer 1

Answer:

After the French and Indian Wars, the British Empire became more powerful in terms of land, but was also in a difficult economic condition.

Because of this, the British levied more taxes on the American colonies, which angered the colonists who were used to relatively low levels of taxation.

The British also wanted to control more aspects of American colonial life. The monarchs had become suspicious of colonial independence, and they wanted tighter control over the colonies.
