During the time of the American Revolution, the increase of industrialization had not taken place in the North American continent. America does not begin large scale industrialization until the middle of the 19th century.

All of the other answer choices played a critical role in starting the American Revolution. The debt from the Seven Years War resulted in the need for the British government to tax the colonists.
