Causes of the Revolution

Many of the causes of the Revolution come after the French and Indian War. One of that reasons is that because the war was to gave their colonies more land they actually doubled their National debt, and because of the debt of the country they decided to tax the colonies. The only problem in the British plan was that the colonists were not happy with the taxes because they said that they did not have a representation on the British Parliament so they will not pay a Tax. The colonists agreed that they will pay the taxes that they decided th choose. The taxes that cause the colonists to get angry were the Sugar Act, the Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act.
