The Seven Years' War, 1754-1763

Thomas Hutchinson became the royal governor of the colony of Massachusetts. Hutchinson worked hard to keep the british and colonists aligned. Unfortunately his plan of union failed and lead it to ensue the seven years war. Therefore, this made the british and colonists go against the french and their indian allies. After the war ended the british colonists tried to make the colonists pay for the damages. But, the colonists protested against the british tax policies such as the sugar act, the stamp act, the townshend duties and the tea act. Although the british tried to make the colonists pay for taxes, Hutchinson was still loyal to britain even though he knew it was wrong. Quickly, Hutchinson decided to resolve the british and colonial relations. After he resolved the situation he became the first american to recognize the hardships of maintaining full rights and privileges for colonists.
