Conflict+in+the+Colonies

= = toc =Conflict in the Colonies=

After the French & Indian War, the age of salutatory neglect that Great Britain had extended towards the colonies was about to end. Parliament in Great Britain now looked to re-establish its power and authority over its colonial possession through the passage of new laws and regulations. Some colonial resent towards Britain had already been created due in part to policies such as the Navigation Acts, which limited colonial trade, as well as laws such as the Proclamation Act of 1763, which limited where colonists could settle. The creation of additional laws and regulations by Parliament against the colonies further strained tensions between the two and lead some colonists to take simple, and radical actions of protest against Great Britain.
