After the french and indian war, tension between colonists and the british government increased because a. the british increased more taxes b. british troops refused to leave c. colonists went ahead with plans for the union d. the british began to ignore the colonists

The correct answer is A) The British increased more taxes.

After the French and Indian War, the British government was in debt. In order to pay back this debt, the government turned to the American colonists to help pay for the cost of war. The British government felt that the colonists should help pay since the British military was protecting them from French encroachment.

However, the American colonists responded poorly to these taxes. This was due to the fact that the colonists had no say in the passing of these taxes. This is when the famous phrase "no taxation without representation" became a rallying cry of the American colonists.
