2025 SCETL Annual Spring Conference: Panel One

Body

Imperial reforms after the Seven Years' War set Britain and its American colonies on a path that led to conflict, but what concerns prompted those initiatives and how did they operate? Instead of a single coherent program, officials in London adopted various policies for different reasons. The eventual backlash among colonists made the reasons for failure seem clearer in retrospect than at the time.
