Question

The colonists will be responsible for paying off the debt from the war.

(Group of answer choices)

True

False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The British thought the colonists should help pay for the cost of their own protection. Furthermore, the French and Indian War had cost the British treasury £70,000,000 and doubled their national debt to £140,000,000. Compared to this staggering sum, the colonists' debts were extremely light, as was their tax burden.
