French and Indian war affects the colonies

The British fought a good war, exspansion was on track.
Unfortunately they found themselves in debt after they had got back.
The colonies didnt help, British had a remedy for that.
They would take it out their pockets starting with the townshend acts.
They needed to get some revenue after the war had passed,
the colonist owed them so they threw taxes on glass
they taxed them on lead and paint they taxed them on tea
hell if i had been there they would have thrown a tax on me.

Next came the Tea acts which hurt the colonists soul.
this was just another attempt by the British to show that they're in control.
The colonies wanted to send a message, "Britain we arent mad atcha."
and to show that there are no hard feeling they threw them a party known as the Boston Massacre.
This angered the british perfusely, and they weren't going to tolerate that
and they put it plain for the colonists they passed the intolerable acts.
