They were both British Colonies, but the reasons they came were for different. Between these colonies there are many similarities and differences in the founding and…

to the Colonies everyone refers to me a “Bella”. I was born and raised in Great Britain, under the Crown, and remain loyal to them to this day. I’m 22 years old. Turned out my husband was an agent for the British crown, whose name was Thomas Edward, age 26, and insisted we move to North America in hopes for “A better, brighter future.” We began in Boston. We moved here in early 1773. We owned a small farm, and Thomas did odd work in the beginning. It wasn’t until later that he told me his job.…

The Treaty of Paris granted Great Britain the Ohio River Valley, as well as Quebec, Canada resulting in France losing all of its territory in North America. Although the American colonies fought alongside the British during the French and Indian War, Great Britain’s victory greatly affected their postwar relationship.
