According to the passage, the BEST reason why the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War) led to the American revolution was "The colonists resented that they were not able to settle on land that Great Britain took after the French & Indian War."

Many actions from the British monarchy really angered the American colonies and were causes of the American Revolution. The Proclamation of 1763 was one of them. In this document, the government of England prohibited the colonists to occupy land that was part of France before the French and Indian War, and now belonged to Great Britain. Among the other factors that angered Americans and started the Revolutionary War were the heavy taxation imposed by Britain such as the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Tea Act.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) The colonists resented that they were not able to settle on land that Great Britain took after the French & Indian war.

Explanation:

The American colonists were indeed upset with many acts by the British monarchy and sparked the American Revolution. One of them was the 1763 Proclamation. This paper forbade the colonist government to occupy land which before the French and Indian War was a part of France, which was now a part of the United Kingdom. Heavy taxation imposed by Great Britain, such as the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act and the Tea Act, was among other factors that annoyed the Americans and began the Revolutionary War.
