Relationship between the colonies and Britain

OK, for this assignment create a three column chart with the following headings: Pre-French and Indian War, French and Indian War, Post French and Indian War.  Using your textbook (pages 137-140, 146-56, 160, 163-168), find things that you feel created tension between the British and the colonies in each of those eras.  It can be something that either the colonists did, or the British did.  Stick to economic things, political things, social things, or military things.  Remember, this is a relationship, so a battle wouldn't necessarily affect things, but if during that battle there was mistreatment or disrespect, then that could be something worth mentioning.
