It is most certain that if the French-Indian War had not happened, then the revolution of the colonies would probably never have happened and that the United States of American would never have existed. The debts and enemies that the war left for the British were too much and were a key role in their loses of the American colonies loyalty. Britain and its monarchy made a number of ghastly decisions, thinking selfishly, and did not realize the magnitude of their mistakes to anger the colonists. Colonists found their liberties being taken away and were given no representation in British courts about taxes and acts that were passed upon the colonies. They realized that Britain was holding too much power over them for being a “Mother …show more content…
It’s evident that what happened after the French- Indian war was very impactful on the lives of the colonists.

After the war Britain was in huge debt because they had borrowed money heavily from Dutch and British banks. They had to pay off over one-hundred and fifty million pounds of debt, which was half of Britain’s national budget.

The Sugar Act essentially enforced the taxes set upon molasses and sugar that was imported into the colonies. This wasn’t very pleasing to the colonists and merchants because before the reinforcement of this new act colonists liked to illegally smuggle these sorts of goods into the colonies and it was much cheaper for them. This was a sign to the colonists that Britain was trying to tighten its grip on the colonies neck, but to the colonists it most likely felt like Britain was choking them to death because something like this act had never happened in the colonies before.
