Today we looked at how the French and Indian War impacted the colonies.Great Britain had just won a war against France to keep and protect America. All Great Britain was doing was asking us to pay our share of the war. Thus began the beginning of Britain trying to tax America over and over again. The tax that angered colonists more than any other was the Stamp Act. It essentially taxed many things the colonists bought and paid for. Letters, Newspapers, Licenses, Death Certificates. It was one of the many things that led to the snowball growing larger and larger and larger.There was also the Proclamation Line which forbid the colonists from moving into the very land they just won in the war. All of these led to growing hostilities between the colonists and British, particularly in Boston. Two big phrases from class today. 1. No Taxation Without Representation. 2. It wasn't about the money, It was about their rights.
