= The French and Indian War! =

==   The French were building forts on the Ohio River, Bitish territory. The British thought it was an attack and called their Indian allies to help them win the oncoming war, which became known as the French and Indian War. Because of the war, the British needed newer and better weapons to beat the French. ==

==     They also needed money to buy the weapons. So, King George made the taxes higher so he would get extra money. The colonists were angered by the newv taxes         , not because they had to pay for the war, but because how they had to pay for it. The colonists responded at first by trying to tell the British what their opinions were. Then later they stopped paying the taxes all together. This angered King George, so he started putting taxes on all goods that were imported from Britain, called the       Sugar Act. ==
