Going to guess before watching it was 7 Years War/French Indian War- as it was lead to the Proclamation of 1763, the increased garrison of crown troops, and the raising of taxes to pay for those troops.
I learned this with Assassin's Creed, but isn't it supposed to be taught thoroughly in every American school? It's the very origin of your country after all.
I've always imagined the Proclamation of 1793, limiting the expansion of the frontier to the Appalachian Mountains, was the primary motivator for the leaders of the revolution while the rest was mostly just propagandized to mobilize regular colonists (not that they had no legitimate grievances).
It is, but what ends up sticking with people is Boston Tea Party, "No Taxation Without Representation," and the deceleration themselves. Some of the nuances of why those taxes were raised, why troops "needed" to be quartered in houses, and the series if laws that increasingly frustrated a third of the colonial population to support the rebellion are lost on some people.
