British Bring On Their Own Loss

After thinking about the British situation after the Seven Years War and how they handled this situation, I realized that it was the British themselves who were responsible for losing their territory in America. When they finished up the war 1763, they were in need of money, as they were in debt, and so they decided that taxing the colonists would help them. There was the Stamp Act in 1965, which is when the British Parliament required the Americans to put stamps on every official document they had. In addition, there were other tariff laws made, such as the Sugar Act and Townshend Act, which posed tariffs on sugar, molasses, glass, and tea. This created tension between the British and the Americans, which eventually resulted in the American revolution.
