The key factor that made the taxes after the French & Indian War different, and which consequently sparked colonial protests, was that "Colonists had no voice in Parliament." After the war, the British government imposed several taxes on the colonies to help pay off war debts and cover the costs of maintaining British troops in North America. The lack of representation in Parliament fueled the colonists' belief that these taxes were unjust. This sentiment was encapsulated in the slogan "No taxation without representation," which became a rallying cry for the colonial protests against British taxation policies.
