After the French and Indian war, colonists continued to move into areas west of the Allegheny Mountains. The British had promised this territory to the American Indians as part of a treaty signed during the war. To keep the peace, Britain created the Proclamation Line of 1763. The line was meant to define a boundary between the settlers and the American Indians. The British government sent 10,000 British soldiers to enforce the Proclamation Line. But it was ineffective and ended up only angering settlers, who continued to move into western territories.
Tensions increased when the British imposed new taxes on the colonists to pay for war debts. Colonists saw new taxes on sugar, coffee, and other basic goods. In 1765 the British passed the Stamp Act. This law imposed taxes to pay for British troops stationed in the colonies. The colonists resented paying taxes without having representation in Parliament.
All of these events eventually led to the American Revolution.
