Answer:
The correct answer is A. England began to heavily tax the colonies to help pay for the French and Indian War.
Explanation:
Economically the French and Indian War was disastrous for both parties. Public debts in France and Great Britain threatened to bankrupt the Public Treasury. Both reacted by raising taxes enormously. The difference was that Great Britain applied them to the American colonists and France, having lost their colonies had to tax the lives of their citizens. The taxes on the tea trade and the Stamp Act were notable, and were one of the reasons for dissatisfaction on the part of the settlers, which originated the American Revolution and the subsequent independence of the United States.
