Why were the american colonists taxed

The American Colonists were taxed because Great Britain, their motherland, decided that the colonists need to pay more.  

Explanation:

To put into perspective, the growing number of taxes occurred soon after the end of the French & Indian War, as well as the Coalition vs. Empire (i.e. Rise & Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte). These wars dug deep into the coffers of the British Empire, who saw a deficit in the amount of funding they had. As the citizens of Great Britain who were living in the U.K. already had a large burden of the taxes, the British government decided to transfer some of those burdens to the colonies abroad, including the American colonists.  This is essentially why the American colonies were taxed.

the topic i chose to write about was " why scuba diving is so popular". the topic is suitable for the audience because it is the easiest to develop and explain, it can be explained in a simpler more conversational manner, it does not require the use of too many technical words, and the final reason for selecting this topic is that it is the one most people can relate to, you might not know too much about scuba diving, but you could probably agree that it is very popular. the purpose of the writing about this topic is to convince more people about the benefits both for the body and the mind that   scuba diving can have on a person. it can you keep fit since it requires a lot of energy when swimming underwater; it also you relax because you forget about the world when you are underwater being mesmerized by the underwater world. i would write this paper in the summer, a perfect time to give scuba diving a try if a person has not done it yet.
