Although the British won the French and Indian war, the victory was costly. The British government thought that since the war primarily benefitted the colonists by making their borders safer, the colonists should bear most of the cost of paying for the war. Therefore, the British imposed new taxes, such as those under the Stamp Act, on the colonists.
This created a strained relationship between Great Britain and the colonies. The colonists felt they were being taxed unfairly because they had no representatives to plead their side of the story in Parliament. This led to an outcry over "no taxation without representation." The colonists feared that Britain would keep imposing more and more taxes on them because they had no way to fight back or protest.
This sense of being treated unfairly by the British led ultimately to the American Revolution.
