Restricting The American Colonies
After the French and Indian War, Great Britain was in major debt and the cost of protecting the American Colonies was getting to be too much, so they were looking at the American Colonies for solutions. Upon winning the French and Indian War they won a lot of land and the American Colonies wanted to expand and settle in the new land, but Great Britain did not want that so they implemented the Proclamation line restricting them from doing so. Great Britain starting taxing a lot of American supplies, like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act, to pay for their debt, and the American Colonies did not like this. The American Colonies tried to work things out with Great Britain but Great Britain was uncooperative, so the American Colonies had to rebel.
