French And Indian War: Conflicts With Britain

Events The Proclamation of 1763 is Britain’s way of keeping colonists off the Indians lands. It was declared after the French and Indian war, on October 7 1763 by King George the third. It's still a fundamental Native American law even today across America and Canada. French and Indian war Also known

The effects after the French and Indian War created an unbalanced relationship between Britain and the British colonies. The victory allowed Britain to expand their territory, but also brought Britain in great debt. Britain believed that Parliament should have more authority over the colonists and so they put in Acts to enforce their rules. The many different Acts created resentment throughout the colonies towards their mother country. The French and Indian War also had the effect on the colonies and the colonists because they all fought together and were unified. Before the war, the colonies were very untrustful of each other, but the war helped them fight against a common enemy. The French and Indian War caused Britain to enforce

Throughout the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the relationship between the British and the American colonies underwent many radical changes. This war drew the British into America to fight the French alongside of the American colonists. Once the fighting began, the vast economic, political, and ideological differences between the colonists and their mother country of Great Britain surfaced. The French and Indian War impacted the political correlation between Britain and the American colonies because the colonies desired a new democratic government in place of the former English monarchy. Additionally, the war altered the economic relations between the two because of the establishment of numerous British taxations to pay for the war

IV.The Impact on the British The impact of the French and Indian War on the British government was a positive move toward the dominance of Europe after the defeat of the French in terms of the colonization of North America. During this time, the British had incurred a massive military debt, which had to be paid over the long-term. To ensure that the British government did not take full responsibility for the debt, the British colonists were expected to pay back the debt burden through extremely high taxes. This policy was a major impact on the British because it defined a new era of colonial exploitation that was to be used against the colonists. During this time, the British government harbored resentment over the uncooperative attitude of some colonists that supported the French and refused to pay taxes to relieve the war debt:

The French and Indian War occurred between 1754-1763 and once it ended, the relationship between Britain and its American colonies took a turn for the worse. The political, economic, and ideological relations between the two entities changed greatly between 1740 and 1766 because the colonies, once suffering from benign neglect, began being ruled directly.

The French and Indian War also weakened Britain and this allowed the colonists’ actions, such as boycotting and rioting to be more effective and impactful to the colonial rebellion. When the colonies started rejecting British products and threatened to end trade with them, it succeeded due to Britain’s crippled economy which was not strong enough to gain more debt and lose vital income. The merchants in Britain could not afford to trade in America which became their primary source of exporting goods. If the British merchants were crippled, this would create a chain reaction and hurt the British economy as a whole (The Road to Revolution in the English Colonies: 1750-1776). Another example of this is in during the War of 1812, America would

The money taxed was to go towards an attempt in raising money for England within the Colonies and to help the rice for the defending/protection fighting at the Appalachian of troops. This was all done as a way to raise money without colonial legislature acceptance. Citizens didn’t make a huge deal with it but some still disagreed.

The first tax was the Stamp Act, passed in 1765. This tax forced the colonists to pay for and have stamps on official documents. This mostly affected the wealthy, seeing as they had more official documents. This did cause some displeasure. Even before the Stamp Act was put into effect, the colonists

Most of the taxes were to raise funds for the British military. After a while the colonist felt like they were
