    True.

    Explanation:

    The French and Indian War, ended in 1763, left Britain victorious, with new territories taken away from France - including Canada -, but highly indebted.

    The British Crown decided to raise taxes in the American colonies. Parliament passed the Sugar Act and the Currency Act in 1764. They rose taxes on molasses and other products, restricted trade to business with Britain only and impeded the colonies to print their own money. So, colonists felt treated unjustly, overtaxed and having no rights to influence this situation. That's the moment when the complaint "No taxation without representation" started. Here are some of the causes of the Revolutionary War.
