Answer 1

The effect of the French and Indian War that most contributed to smuggling in the colonies was increased taxes from the British. Following the war, Britain sought to pay off its war debt and finance its military presence in North America by imposing new taxes on the colonies, such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act. These taxes led to widespread resistance and a desire to evade the restrictions and burdens imposed by British rule, resulting in increased smuggling activities.
