<em>A.) To pay for the French and Indian War.</em>

Explanation:

One of the main reasons that the colonists wanted to break away and become independent from Great Britain was because they kept trying to unfairly tax them.

Numerous tax laws were put on the colonists, taxing things like paper products or even taxing tea. The colonists thought this was very unfair, as they had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them. This is known as "taxation without representation."

Great Britain tried to say that the taxes were justified because they had to pay for the debt of the French and Indian War, which was very expensive and fought on American soil. They also said that since they were protecting the colonists with British troops, they should have the right to tax them.

Obviously, the colonists still disagreed and thought the taxing was unfair, which caused them to eventually boycott products that contained the tax and even in some cases become violent.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The interaction between the Spanish and the Natives was not well from the beginning.

Explanation:

It is to note that Spanish was the most hostile than the other European colonizers in the New World. Bartolomé de las Casas was a 16th-century Spanish bishop, who spoke against the oppression of indigenous peoples by Europeans. Bartolome saw the exploitation of Indigenous people by the European and felt remorse and become the defender of their rights. Spanish behaviour towards the indigenous was hostile as they forced them to work and kill in conquests. They got hold of golds from ancient civilizations and build colonies to make money. From las Casas account, it is to be noted, that there was no equality between the two groups as Spaniard considered to be superior with skills an weapons to dominate the Native Indians.  Native Indians converted into Christians as their culture seen as barbarous with human sacrifices.
