French and Indian War: Relationship between America and Britain
The effects after the French and Indian War created an unbalanced relationship between Britain and the British colonies. The victory allowed Britain to expand their territory, but also brought Britain in great debt. Britain believed that Parliament should have more authority over the colonists and so they put in Acts to enforce their rules. The many different Acts created resentment throughout the colonies towards their mother country.

The French and Indian War caused Britain to enforce acts upon the colonies, helped create the ideas of freedom between the colonies, and allowed the colonies to become unified.

With the Tea Act, the colonies had enough and that’s what caused the Boston Tea Party. When British found out what the colonists had done they closed off the harbor, in Boston, until the colonists paid off for all the tea they dumped. They also began to
