Economically, the colonies were being taxed by Britain because of the massive war debt after the Seven Year’s War and felt that it was unfair because Parliament was taxing them instead of their own colonial governments. Finally the ideology between Britain and her colonies was changed because during the French and Indian War Britain suffered some harsh defeats during battle which broke the belief the Britain was unbeatable and resentment towards the British was starting to spur up in the colonies more and more because of the taxes and the involvement and the control that Britain is now starting to exert over the colonies.
