What led the british to raise taxes on the American colonist during the 1760s?

The British raised taxes on American colonists in the 1760s primarily to address the massive debt incurred during the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and to cover the costs of maintaining British troops in North America. They believed that since the war had benefited the colonies, it was fair for them to contribute to the expenses through taxes, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. This taxation without representation ignited widespread resentment among colonists, ultimately fueling the desire for independence.

sons of liberty
