French and Indian War

The French and Indian War had ended, and Britain and America had defeated the French and the Indians. The British and Americans had fought very well together, and after the victory in the war, it would be pretty much a given that their relationship would improve greatly as a result of this. What actually happened though, was the opposite. After the war, the British were in a great debt, and they believed the colonies should help them pay for it. While in desperate need of money, Britain…

Great Britain also gained territory in French Canada. The map of colonial Empires in North America in 1754 and 1763, shows the shift of colonial power before and after the French and Indian War (document A). At the start of the war, France owned all the land from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rockies. More importantly, France had claims to the Mississippi River, a major transportation hub, allowing them to greatly expand their trade. At the end of the war however, France’s rule in North…

Great analysis, I believe the American colonists began to see themselves as less British were during the French and Indian War. I concur with your statement, that many of the colonists felt proud to be under the British rule and felt they should received the same privileges as England citizens. As the author noted, both parties agreed that the colonists were not part of the realm of England but citizens of separate corporate entities (Reich, 2011, p. 263). Therefore, the colonists they had…

The french and indian war, fought between Britain and France during the years 1754-1763, was a response to debate over the Ohio River Valley between the two countries, won by the British in 1763. The effects of the war, rather than improve relations between the colonies and their mother country, worsened them. The conclusion of the french and indian war strained british and colonial relations due to issues of land acquisition such as the proclamation of 1763 and the Quebec act, political changes…

The French and Indian war was a very curious conflict, and the way it began is even more curious. The start of this war can be traced back to a huge demand of beaver fur in Europe, and the competition between France and England for dominance over the most viable trapping territories. But during this war, one major figure in US history got thrust into the limelight, and that Figure was George Washington. In the Article “Ambition, Accomplishment, and acclaim” by Don Higginbotham he states that…

The French and Indian War was caused by land disputes between the British colonists and the French over the Ohio River Valley region. The French and British were both claiming the same territory as their own. After Britain’s victory, a policy they enforced prior to the war called salutary neglect, which avoided strict enforcement of parliamentary laws to keep American colonies obedient to Great Britain, ended. However, following the war, the British began heavily taxing the colonists because of…

After the French Indian War broke out in 1756, American colonists gradually developed an American identity. They attempted to separate from the tyranny of the British Empire, because they didn’t regard themselves as British anymore. Even if the colonists were initially reluctant to challenge British authority, they became united under a common cause; the discontent of the virtual representation, and the frequent turmoil in Boston and the Continental Congress are all motivation for independence…

colonies. The French and Indian war was the result of a clash between the French and the English. The results of the war ended the French power in the North Colonies and gave the winning side- the english- land and power but also war debt. Salutary Neglect was an undocumented agreement between the colonies and the English where the motherland would go easy on the colonies in exchange for their loyalty. The period of salutary neglect was over after The French and Indian war, the English were…

In 1763, the French and Indian War came to an end. The war started with the intention of obtaining American land; however, it resulted in the defeat of the French and their Native American allies. Initially Americans gained a sense of freedom and pride; however, the war took a huge toll on the financial status of Britain. This led to the the formation of income-based laws, battle for power over the Americas, and the wars in order for Americans to sustain their freedom. Britain argues that they…
