Question

Up until the _____, England largely ignored its American colonies, so the colonists were left alone to govern themselves. a. War of 1812 b. War of 1814 c. French and Indian War d. Revolutionary War

Answer 1

Answer:

C. French and Indian War

Explanation:

Up until the French and Indian war, England largely ignored its American colonies, so the colonists were left alone to govern themselves.

After the war the British incurred a huge debt as a result of the cost used to make it a success. This made the British adopt measures such as taxation to pay it off. They heavily taxed their colonists which led to a backlash and subsequent revolutionary war between the British and the colonists.
