Part One
When the French and Indian war was won the British were panicking and so they decided to tax the colonials more and more until the colonials decided to fight back starting with the Boston massacre. And then The Acts were the Sugar act, the Stamp act, Townshed acts, and the Coersive acts. The main effect of the war was that Great Britain no longer had any control over America. Also, any property or land owned by Britain was now property of the American citizens, and citizens were free to settle wherever they wanted with the end of the Proclamation Line. The American Revolution also affected slaves, as they were freed in the Northern states. Export and imports expanded, and
agriculture grew in the West. However, relations between America and Britain
would be strained for some time.
And the reason for the British participating is that they need the colonists and they relied on the colonists for money, and they weren't used to rebellion.
