Specific US history help!!?

Question

Does anyone know anything about these two topics? or any ideas, websites, etc. Any help would be appreciated! =]

Topic 1

It is sometimes observed that the roots of future wars lie in the results of past wars. In what ways does it appear that the French and Indian War helped to cause the American Revolutionary War?

Topic 2

Both the British and the colonists were devoted to the principle of "No Taxation without representation." This being true how did both taxation and representation become major sources of controversy between the colonists and parliament?

Answer 1

Topic 1-The British started implementing unfair taxes and refused to let the colonists expand westward.  By removing the threat of the French, Britain lost one of the strongest incentives for the colonies to retain their links with Great Britain.

Topic 2- The American colonists were not treated as true British subjects.  They were constantly taxed by England with no one to speak for them.

Answer 2

Hey erika!! i finally got one =]
