French - Indian War
It was a theater of "Seven Year's War.
Which had the involvement of Great Britain and France fighting over for control of the Ohio River Valley located in North America.
After two years of fighting, Great Britain officially declared war on France.
With the British outnumbering the French, they turned to the natives. Ultimately the British won the war, but this war was expensive, making Great Britain pay the price of the war, being in-debt. This led to multiple Taxing Acts on the 13 Colonies. -
Stamp Act
Parliament's first direct tax on the American colonies, this was to raise money for the British. This Act taxed newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dice, and playing cards. This helped pay back the British troops that participated in the French - Indian War as it was costly for the British. This was the start of multiple parliament Acts for the colonists, as this angered the 13 colonies for heavy taxing. -
Quartering Act
