What was the "political outlook" that gained a following in America and ultimately served to justify revolt?

Answer 1

One of the things that was an outcome of the French and Indian War was that troops from the colonies learned they could protect their own terrorities, that they did not need British troops to protect them, and in fact, the British troops were not almighty. Americans thought they could go it alone, not depending on Britian to protect them....and, the taxes declared with the Molasses Act (Colonies paying taxes to support British Troops) was a great imposition on the colonies.
I am not certain all this counts as a political outlook...
