What will be an ideal response?
British officials were concerned that the westward movement of white colonists would provoke war with the Native Americans and add to the cost of defending the empire. Pontiac's Rebellion seemed to confirm that fear. This resulted in the Proclamation of 1763 and the stationing of British regulars on the frontier. New taxes would now be required to pay for these troops. But, with the French eliminated from the frontier, colonists saw no need for the Proclamation or the army and they resented the new tax policies.
