The British were in debt so they taxed the Colonists. They couldn't afford making the Native Americans angry again so they gave them land. Finally, they had to stop Colonists from crossing the Appalachian Mountains so they sent soldiers to keep them in check.

They faced extreme debt and they tried to tax the colonists to help get rid of it however the colonists resisted their authority and taxes, slowly leading up to events like the Boston Tea Party, which lost England a lot of tea, supplies, and money.

The colonists didn't like the British trying to hold authority. They fought back in many ways, one of them being the Boston Tea Party which is an example of a revolt because they dumped the tea which cost a lot of money. Another thing was hanging the Effigies which were sculptures of people and they used it to scare the tax collectors away.

England faced debt from war. They dealt with this by adding the Sugar and Stamp acts. The Natives weren't happy with the British taking control of the Ohio River Valley. The British made the Proclamation of 1763, which prevented colonists from going west of the Appalachian. Lastly they made stricter policies on trade routes, like British officials being able to check all boats with cargo on it.

The British dealt with debt, illegal trade, and alliances. The dealt with this by taxing the colonists to pay of the debt, cracking down on trade laws and smugglers, and they issued the Proclamation of 1763 to protect Indian land.

The Enlightenment was philosophical movement primarily in Europe around following reason and science. Some philosophers such as John Locke, influenced ideas on the US revolution and on the creation of the constitution.

The Colonists were very agitated by the laws Parliament were passing and they created a secret organization to rebel called the Sons of Liberty. They were made up of big strong men with the sole purpose of intimidating tax collectors so they wouldn't pay taxes. After successful boycotts from the Sons of Liberty, British tea ships arrived and the colonists knew they would have to pay taxes, so instead they dumped all of the tea into the Boston harbor.

Colonists responded with force and anger, protesting the taxes and acts Britrain made to try and take control back from the colonies. The colonists resisted first with peacful protests like boycotts but then they escaleted like during the boston tea party. In the most drastic of occations was during the Boston Massacre when the colonists instigated a fight with british soldiers leading 5 colonists to die and some soldiers to get injured.

After the war, England accumulated massive levels of debt. They dealt with this by taxing the colonies, which worsened their relationship. The Indigenous peoples were also upset due to the fact that their land had been annexed. The British didn't want to increase their debt, so they made the Proclamation of 1763 in order to preclude another war which would be detrimental towards their debts. Finally, many of the affluential colonists had speculated land in the Ohio River Valley, such as George Washington. The Proclamation of 1763 stated that they couldn't use the land they obtained.

All of the colonies had many different priorities. For example New England was homegenuos and very religious. While the middle colonies were diverse. The southern colonies were focused on plantation and agricultural, with only two main classes. They united over hating the British after the Intolerable acts were released. Their union was not strong to begin with as they all were different and they first met in the Continental Congress, except Georgia. But later on they developed into a stronger union during the revolutionary war.

The New England colonies, middles colonies and southern colonies differ primarily in agriculture and economy. They did not have a strong union to begin with, and connected more to the British than each other. They united over the intolerable acts and they formed the first continental congress, which had representatives from 12 out of 13 colonies.

The Colonists responded to the intolerable acts by doing the Boston Tea Party, and Boycotting British goods.

In England everyone that payed taxes had a representative in the government, and the Colonists didn't have this which started no taxation without representation. The Boston tea party is an example of this because they refused and destroyed British goods. The Colonists also stopped trading with the British.

First and most importantly, British had extreme debt after the war. They placed taxes on more and more everyday items for the colonists to repay it. Throughout the 1760s and 70s, British actions were boycotted by the infuriated colonists who were being taxed and controlled by the acts Parliament had passed. Britain then had to station even more troops in the colonies to settle the chaos, infuriating them even more. After winning the war, tensions arose between the British and the natives, so Britain passed the Proclamation of 1763 to get the Native Americans more land in hopes of peace. After all, British could not afford another war at this time.

The New England region oriented itself on farming, religion, and tight knit communities. The Middle region oriented itself on farming and religion, and the Southern region was built on cash crops and plantations. They united because they were all struggling with new laws and taxation, and this strengthened the colony due to the same goal being aspired.

The region of New England's economy primarily focused on shipments and fishing due to their coastal location. The Middle Colonies had the most optimal landscape, as their land was rich in fertile soil. The Southern Colonies were mainly cash-crops such as tobacco and cotton, as they had massive amounts of indentured servant and slaves. The three Regions united when the first Continental Congress was founded. This happened because of the harsh acts passed by the British against the colonists. At first, their relationship was subpar as their economies depended on different laws and rules, like how the south wanted to continue to import goods to the Brits.

In the New England Region there was local government with town meeting to disscus issues. Just like the New England Colonies, The Middle Colonies held meetings and had organized Government.This was different from the Southern Colonies were there were rich people in charge, commanding everything. in the England Colonies they had fishing and trading. in the middle colony, there was lots of land and so farming was grand. This was the in the southern colonies. They united against the intolerable acts, fighting it's unfair punishments and Britains unfair taxes. Only Georgia separated itself from the rest of the colonies. This still created a slightly strong devide that was only to strengthen until 1776.

the British struggled with debt from the & years war since armies and supplies cost a lot to maintain, Britain was scared the Native Americans were going to revolt again and had to take measures to stop this. Also the relationship between colonists and the British became more strained after Britain tried to control them more.
