How did the french and indian war play a role in causing the american revolution?

After fighting the French and Indian War, Britain was deep in debt and decided to tax the colonists in order to pay those debts. Britain enforced a serious of acts that taxed the colonists on certain imported and deported things; those acts came to be called by the colonists as the "Intolerable Acts." The colonists thought that that wasn't fair and that Britain should not tax them without representation. This controversy over taxation came to play a role in causing the American revolution.
