How did the settlement of the French and Indian Wars contribute to the strain between the colonists and Great Britain?

The end of the French and Indian War was one of the main catalysts of the American Revolution. British officials got to see how American colonists willingly flouted the Navigation Acts and dodged taxes. The war was also quite expensive, and Parliament insisted that the colonists pay their fair share.
Since the war started in North America when land speculators ventured too far into western territory, Britain passed the Proclamation Line of 1763, which barred American settlement west of the Appalachians. Land speculation was a big industry in the colonies, and the growing population demanded a never-ending supply of land. The colonists felt as though they were being denied land that they could use for both their and Britain's benefit. The colonists also felt slighted in that their contribution to British military victory was minimized. Parliament only wanted the colonists to pay taxes—this was hardly the appreciation the colonists expected. Parliament asking for the enforcement of the laws that it had not enforced before led to colonial resentment and protests. This situation would escalate into revolution in the ensuing decade.
