George Grenville instituted several taxes affecting the American colonies primarily to address Britain's mounting debt from the French and Indian War and to fund the ongoing military presence in North America. His main purpose was to generate revenue to support British troops stationed in the colonies and to assert Parliament's authority over colonial governance.
