JDB+French+and+Indian+War-

Joey Burchard AP US History  During the French and Indian War, the British and colonists had a great bond with each other because they were fighting for the same thought. After the war, Britain decided to take away the Salutary Neglect from the colonies. King George III decided to get back a relationship with the colonies because of the war effort. King George III decided to try and take control of the colonies again, which he did not succeed in.  King George tried to get rid of the debt of Great Britain by taxing the colonists. He had appointed George Grenville as Prime Minister in order to tax the colonists. This taxing was not appreciated by the colonists, which did not improve the relations with the colonies. I know that the colonists did not appreciate the fact that Great Britain was forcing them to pay taxes in order to help settle the debt with Britain. The Sugar Act enforced by British law was one of the tax laws that made colonists not enjoy the Parliament government. Even though the Currency Act did not become successful, it was trying to connect all of the colonies together by currency. I know that if I was a colonist in 1760’s, I would really not enjoy the Quartering Act of 1765. This act allowed British soldiers to enter your house without any permission from yourself, and then you would have to feed them and shelter them because of the law. They could also enforce these laws with the standing army they have in the colonies now. They are taking a temptation from doing bad and following the law in order to make sure the colonists stay loyal with the British Empire. Many colonists were not very happy after this taxing that is happening around the colonies.
