What effect did the French and Indian War have on the American Revolution?

Answer 1

It was expensive for the British Parliament to persecute and so following the war the British government was determined to take a more direct role in governing its North American colonies with higher taxation to help cover the cost of British Forts which protected the colonist from Indian attacks and the British navy that helped keep the trade routes safe. The North American colonist didn't take well to this new tax load and direct involvment in govermening by Great Britain. The rest is history.

Answer 2

The stamp act was the first tax that got the ball rolling, which was quickly repealed after protest. More taxes, more anger, Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, and here we are.

Answer 3

It taught the colonists that they could fight for themselves and do so successfully.
