The series of revenue-raising measures imposed on the colonists at the end of the French and Indian War, aimed at making the colonies more self-supporting, significantly contributed to the growing dissatisfaction that led to the American Revolution. These measures, which included taxes and duties, were seen as an unfair burden by the colonists, who had no representation in the British Parliament, leading to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation."
