What was the impact of the great war for empire (seven year’s war) on british policymakers and the colonies?

The Seven Years War ended in victory for the British, but it was a bittwersweet victory, it can be said. Great Britain accumulated more debt, it was heavily indebted at the end of the war. So, higher taxes were applied in the colonies, creating disatisfaction and more grievances among the colonists. Another major impact was a rise of the levels of colonial involvement and control of the issues concerning the administration of the colonies; so far, colonies had been left to deal with their own issues with much permisiveness, but after the war, controls were tightened by the crown and new measures were taken, being resented by the American subjects.
