British were in enormous debt, and they wanted to maintain peace with the Native American.

Explanation:

Although the British won the French and Indian War, they were in enormous debt. To pay the war debts, which was growing extensive, the British introduced different types of taxes in the colonies as they were part of the British Empire.

Also, Britain wanted to keep peace with the Native Americans, so they issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which restricted colonists from residing west of the Appalachian Mountains.

All the taxes and acts were unpopular for the colonist living in America who often showed hostile towards the British, which later turned into the Independence war in America.
