The attempt to retake control over the Colonies after the Seven Years War and reorganize the economy through taxes increase was not well received by the Colonies.

Explanation:

England was victorious over France in the Seven Years Wars, but the victory cost a lot to England because the country had to insert a great sum of money, and now it was necessary to retake these numbers. Trough the increase of taxes, and the creation of several control mechanisms attempted to obtain a strict control over the Thirteen Colonies, but it was useless. From the beginning, the Colonies were self productive and didn't see themselves as part of England. The increase of taxes and the truculence promote the taste for liberty.
