The British government sought to increase taxes on its colonies to pay the costs of administering its empire and recoup its expenses from the: Seven Years' War.
Britain also needed money to pay its war debts. The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. They decided to collect various kinds of taxes from the settlers to pay for the war between the French and the Indians.
The Stamp Act, Sugar Act, Townsend Act, and Intolerance Act are four laws that contributed to the tension and unrest among settlers that ultimately led to the American Revolution. The first law was the Sugar Act, passed in 1764. The law imposed a tax on sugar and molasses imported into the colony.
That tax made the settlers so angry with British rule that they eventually rebelled against it. The Patriots were colonialists determined to fight Britain until American independence was achieved.
