Detailed explanation-1: -Britain’s debt from the French and Indian War led it to try to consolidate control over its colonies and raise revenue through direct taxation (e.g., Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Tea Act, and Intolerable Acts), generating tensions between Great Britain and its North American colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The American Revolution was essentially the American war of independence. The economic causes of the Revolution can be broadly grouped under practice of mercantilism by Britain and the imposition of taxes by the British government on the American colonies.
