(2) Explain why England felt the colonies were fiscally responsible for the war. (3)How did this change the way England treated the colonies and how the did the American Colonists react?

The French and Indian War directly influenced the subsequent American Revolution. This war, fought between 1756 and 1763, was the North American scenario of the Seven Years' War, which took place in Europe and in which France and Great Britain faced each other.

In America, the French were supported by various native tribes, and the battle territory was the Ohio River Valley. Both powers disputed the colonial territories of the North American continent, and in 1763, with the British victory, Canada became part of the British Empire. Furthermore, the French threat to the Thirteen Colonies was neutralized.

Although the colonists had been the main combatants, the British decided that the expenses of the war should be covered by the colonies themselves and not by Great Britain, since these had benefited from the defeat of France, so the Parliament passed a series of laws imposing taxes and fees on the colonies, which had no legislative representation in London. This led to a series of protests and mobilizations seeking to roll back these measures, but they were not heard.

This situation worsened with the Boston Tea Party and the subsequent sanction of the Coercitive Acts, until in 1775, in the midst of the British occupation of Boston, the American Revolutionary War began.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
