Restrictions And Regulations 1763

Beginning in 1763, the Americans had a long road of aggravation ahead of them as restrictions and regulations that limited their control in the British Empire were established. These regulations were brought on by the French and Indian War, in which Britain’s involvement caused it to fall into debt. In order to recover, Britain began to impose taxes and other regulations on the colonies. However, the colonies had no direct representation in Parliament, and as a result, they had no control over the regulations that Britain imposed on them. They were told where to live, and many were uprooted from their homes because of these regulations. No matter where they settled, they lived in fear of British soldiers who surrounded them to maintain peace.
