Appalachian Mountains

The Treaty of Paris ended the war. It gave control of the land of the French in North America to England. And that’s how it affected us. The Proclamation of 1763 was then given. It was a law that prohibited colonists to settle west of the Appalachian Mountains which prevented war between the British and Native Americans. That was a problem the British had and handed down to us as they ruled. In 1764, angered colonists stood by as parliament passed an act that taxed sugar, coffee, and molasses…

The rebellions in the British North American colonies against new acts after the French and Indian War are the events that interest me most. The French and Indian War devastated the government and economic relations between Britain and colonists. Britain passed The Tea Act and The Intolerable Acts in the colonies in which the colonists did not react well to. This lead to many protests, rebellions, and attacks on the British, but they could not come to an agreement. Eventually, the colonists…

Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation provided benefits for the Indians and by benefiting the Indians, it was hopeful that they would not act out against them; as there was, attacks made before. The colonies had some ties to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, where the line was made for the Indians and fur traders. Alas, they were disabled from their original plans to forge Westward due to the Proclamation of 1763. Regardless of the attempts from other colonies, our state, Michigan, was…

1950s Literature The 1950s with its new technology and thriving economy had the symbolic appearance of success: the suburban family with the house, the car, the television, and the home appliances, but not all was as it appeared. Many Americans displayed the facade of a happy, fortunate lifestyle, but in their literature authors of the fifties displayed the underlying turmoil and stress. President Eisenhauer maintained a balanced economy with his programs, and the American people thrived…

During the twelve years that followed the French and Indian War, Americans were convinced that they should fight for independence. The French and Indian War ended in 1763, and before then the colonists were loyal to the British Empire. However, the British parliament and King made a series of decisions that changed the minds of the colonists. The placement of the Stamp Act in 1765 angered the colonist because Britain was taxing them and abusing their power just to make Great Britain revenue, the…

When the British made this act, this made the colonists not be able to move westward passed the Appalachian Mountains. The Colonist were furios due to the act. Colonist were not able to gain more land and that was one of the main reasons why there were many colonist. All they wanted was cheap, affordable land but the british took all of that away from the…

European invasions resulted in horrific and detrimental results to the Native American population living in the Western Hemisphere. Most Europeans made the voyage with the mindset that whoever they would encounter along the way were savages and therefore lesser to them. With this mindset, when the Europeans made contact with the Natives they killed and enslaved them. In the eyes of a Native American, this inhumane interaction was unnecessarily brutal and created an instant enemy between…

on the natives. This was because many native American tribes and confederacies had sided with the British. They had hoped for a British victory that would continue to restrain the land-hungry colonial settlers from moving west beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Unfortunately, the Americans’ victory and Native Americans’ support for the British created a pretense for justifying the rapid and often brutal expansion into the western territories. Ultimately, American independence marked the…
