The American colonists were upset by the taxes. The American colonists had worked together during the French and Indian War making it easier to work together against the British government. The French joined the American Revolution to get revenge on the British. They were bitter about losing the French and Indian War.
The French and Indian war caused the King of England a lot of debt and to get out of debt he decided to impose taxes on the colonies. The tax money was not used for the colonies and the colonists did not have say in it. When the Enlightenment movement spread into the colonies they began to question the kings taxing. The realized “ no taxation without representation” was good for them. The colonists began to unite to fight for their rights against an abusive leader. This ultimately ends in the creation of the Declaration of Independence and American Revolutionary War.
The conquest of new lands allowed Romans to "C. Trade good theypreviously did not have," since the new lands offered more raw and cultivated materials.
