Why The American Colonists Won The French And Indian War?

It was the year 1756 and the British had just won The French and Indian War. All colonists were now under British rule. The French and Indian War was a long fought war that lasted seven years meaning the war was expensive. The British Parliament then decided to impose a tax on paper to make up for the expenses of the war and to repay the British Soldiers. The Tax was fairly cheap (ten cents), at the time, however, many of the colonists had just felt as if they had been threatened to pay such a foolish tax.

“Can you believe it?” Exclaimed Samuel Adams, as he entered his home waving around a piece of paper

“What's the matter?” his wife, Elizabeth, asked

“The British Parliament has decided to tax people on paper! Every single piece of paper
He then added, “We must do something about it, we cannot let the British take over our rights!”

“What must we do?” his wife acknowledged, “Those in Britain have the same taxation as us and they haven't done anything to stop it, how will we?”

Samuel thought about it for a moment, “We Protest!!” he began, “We will get people to boycott on British goods and close down stores and possibly start riots to get the parliament's attention!!” he said with excitement

“How easy will that be?” Elizabeth replied, slightly discouraged

Samuel took in what she said, realizing that getting people to shut down their stores or to start riots just because they ask them to wouldn't be easy. Then a thought began to run through his mind and he was positive his plan couldn’t possibly go wrong.

Samuel smiled at his wife, “Easy,” he

The Sons of Liberty grew a tremendous amount after so long and each of the thirteen colonies had people who were involved with The Sons of Liberty. Samuel surprised himself with how much of a success that his plan had worked to at least have a large number of people to join. The Sons of Liberty soon grew to roughly around two-thousand people with John’s impressive skills to persuade.

One of the first acts of rebellion was the killing of Andrew Oliver, who was responsible for distributing the stamps to the people. Samuel knew to be careful because if people knew he were in charge of such things and to be well-known that he could be in serious trouble with him and his family. In that case, he let those with a smaller occupation do a majority of the protesting while he would be the one to plan it and for John to encourage
