All of the above responses are correct. The French and Indian War created significant debts for the British, which they attempted to pay off by imposing taxes on the colonists. Additionally, the war led to the British creating the Quartering Act, allowing soldiers to be housed in colonists' homes. The Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, was a result of the French and Indian War and was a source of frustration for the colonists. Finally, the British passed the Intolerable Acts in response to the colonists' resistance, asserting their authority over the colonies, which ultimately fueled the flames of the revolution.
