The French and Indian War

• The French and Indian war, a.k.a. The Seven Years’ War, was a global war. A large portion of it took place in the colonies.

• The war ended in 1763, but there were hard feelings left between many Indians and colonists.

The French and Indian War

• A global war can be a bit pricey. The British won the war, but Parliament still had to pay for it all.

• On top of that, Britain needed to leave troops in the colonies to protect them from the now very hostile Indians.

The French and Indian War

• Troops in the colonies also cost Parliament money.

• All of these things put Britain in some pretty serious debt.

Present Day Comparison

• Wars are expensive.• The cost of maintaining the U.S.

presence in Iraq is roughly $720 million per day.

Paying For the War

• The Prime Minister of England, George Grenville needed to find ways to pay off the debt.

Paying for the War

• Since the British people were already paying high taxes, and since Grenville wasn’t a big fan of the colonies, he looked to them to pick up some of the tab.

The Sugar Act

• In 1764 Parliament passed the Sugar Act, which set duties on molasses and sugar imported by the colonists.

• This was the first law specifically aimed at raising money from the colonists.

• The colonists were not thrilled.

The Sugar Act

• Taxes on molasses were actually lower, but the law included anti-smuggling provisions that angered colonists.

The Currency Act

• As another little added bonus, Parliament also passed the Currency Act.

• This law banned the colonies from printing their own money.

The Currency Act

• Parliament did not want the colonists paying taxes in colonial currency.

• But since British currency was scarce (remember the Navigation Acts), this caused economic problems in the colonies.

Enforcing the Navigation Acts…For Real

• In addition to these new laws, Parliament decided to finally put the smack-down on smugglers and enforce the Navigation Acts.

Enforcing the Navigation Acts…For Real

• While smugglers obviously didn’t like this, colonial merchants now had to pay duties that they had managed to avoid before.

Woah! You can’t tax me!

• Even though colonists were British subjects, they were very independent. Most colonists were not used to Parliament making rules for them.

Page 19: Trouble in the Colonies Steps Toward Conflict. The French and Indian War The French and Indian war, a.k.a. The Seven Years’ War, was a global war. A large

Woah! You can’t tax me!

• Many colonists didn’t think Britain even had a right to tax them without their permission.

“Print shows George Grenville holding a balance with scales "Debts" and "Savings", the debt far outweighs savings; among those in line to contribute their savings is a Native American woman representing America, she wears a yoke labeled "Taxed without representation". A melancholy Britannia sits on the far right.”(Library of Congress)

Taxation Without Representation

• Since the Sugar Act and the Currency Act hurt the colonial economy, merchants hated them the most.

• Many merchants in the colonies began a boycott of British goods, like clothes, until these new taxes were repealed.

Taxation Without Representation

• What upset many more colonists, even the happiest British subject, was that Parliament didn’t even consult the colonial governments.

Taxation Without Representation

• The colonies were not represented in Parliament. They had no voice looking out for their interests.

Taxation Without Representation

• Colonists like James Otis and Samuel Adams thought that this was unfair, and unjust, and lead the fight against these taxes.

The Stamp Act

• In 1765 Parliament passed the Stamp Act. This act affected almost every colonist.

• The law required colonists to pay for an official British seal, or stamp on almost all paper products.

The Stamp Act

• If you wanted to buy a paper or file a legal document, you had to pay a tax.

• This act even angered colonists who thought the Sugar Act was alright.
