Question

which event marked an end to the period in the american colonies known as salutary neglect?
a boston tea party
b bacon’s rebellion
c king philip’s war
d french & indian war

Explanation:

"Salutary neglect" was Britain's policy of loose enforcement of colonial rules. The French & Indian War left Britain in heavy debt, prompting it to end this policy and enforce stricter control/taxes on colonies to raise revenue. The other events either predate the peak of salutary neglect or are later reactions to its end.

Answer:

D. French & Indian War
