From1754 to1763, theBritish fought inthe French and Indian War over landoccupiedbytheFrench,northandeastofthe Atlantic colonies. As a result offinancing this war, Britain developed alarge debt [money owed]. The Britishparliament decided to place taxes on theAmerican colonies to raisemoney to paybackthisdebt.OneofthesetaxeswastheStampAct,which imposed a fee onmostprintedmaterials. Aftermeeting colonialresistanceandprotestovertheStampAct,the Parliament [the English legislature]repealed[cancelled]it.Inanotherattemptto raise money, parliament passed theTownshend Acts. These new laws taxedpaper, paint, glass, and tea bought fromBritain.
Colonists did not believe that the Britishparliamenthadtherighttotaxthem.Thecolonists believed they could taxthemselves. These new taxes increasedthe colonists’ distrust of the British.Colonists decided to boycott [refuse tobuy] British goods. And, some colonistsbeganmakingmoreoftheirowngoodsasasignofangerandresentmenttowardtheBritish.Becauseoftheboycott,parliamentrepealed the taxes on all British imports,exceptthetaxontea.
