French And Indian War Effects

The French and Indian War had an almost innumerable number of effects on the political, economic and ideological relations between Britain and the American colonies. The war touched the entirety of America’s diverse population; from the Native Americans to the soldiers. Some were gladdened by the invigorated ties to England while others were enraged by the economic situation. There is no doubt that the war truly altered and revolutionized the American colonies. As a rule, the Native Americans are perhaps the most overlooked sector of the population of the colonies. This war completely varied their knowledge of their land and its value. “We know our lands have now become more valuable,” (Document B). No more would they be fooled by the trickery that cheated them of Manhattan Island; no longer were they ignorant to real estate. They opposed the immigrants who settled in their lands, pleading with the colonists to control these squatters lest violence should ensue. “Your people daily settle on these lands…we must insist on your removing them, as you know they have no right to settle,” (Document B). Consequently, this attitude that the Native Americans portrayed may have affected the way Great Britain regarded its newly acquired French land. Great Britain did not want the colonists to settle in the western lands past the Mississippi (Document A). The colonists, however, felt that it was their right to settle these lands. But, whilst the Native Americans were protesting, the British feared more violence from them. They did not willingly allow the colonists to settle the west for this reason and that it would take an enormous effort to organize the land politically. For the most part, soldiers were treated very differently after the war. Britain came out of 1763 with low opinions and expectations of the Colonial military. This resulted in soldiers being “[denied] Englishmen’s liberty,” (Document D). By this, it can be deduced that the British officers had no respect for the Colonials, denying them items such as clothes and liquors. Even after their term was ended, they were “not yet allowed to go home,” eventually causing them to “[swear] that we would do no more duty here,” (Document D). This could possibly explain why the British were sure they would succeed in the Revolutionary War, as they clearly did not think much of the American military, or lack thereof.

- French And Indian War Of 1763 Dbq Analysisexplanatory essayIn the early English colonial days of the 1600s to early 1700s, Britain largely left its colonies to their own bidding, giving them decades of salutary neglect. Very few regulations were put into place, and those that were generally weren’t enforced. In these years the American people enjoyed a happy imperial relationship without any of the accompanying restrictions, and had a positive view of Britain. This remained so until the French and Indian War of 1763, which severely altered the relationship between Britain and the New World. Over the course of the war, the colonies developed new political and ideological relations towards Britain. However the economic strain of the war was the largest pull on their relation, with Britain placing new taxation and regulations on the colonials to relieve Britain of its war debt.

It diminished the English’s wealth it had accumulated due to the heavy taxation on American colonies, creating a debt the English owed to pay for the war. All of this would lead to factors that would influence the colonists to rebel against the English Crown and later on fully declare independence.

387 wordsRead More - French And Indian War Dbqexplanatory essayThe French and Indian War was without a doubt one of the most influential wars in American History. Its conclusion meant many things for two of the world’s largest powerhouses, Britain and France. When the war came to an end in 1763, the Brits came out on top and the colonists were able to walk away with many new gains. These include more military confidence, expansion of territory, markets, and trading area, somewhat more unification of the people, and the demand for equal rights as Englishmen. The increased military confidence is highly significant because it encourages the colonists to later go after their own independence by fighting against their mother country (which is also the world’s largest powerhouse).

It was composed of six large families, each having the dignified title of a nation. These nations were named respectively, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas Senecas, and later the Tuscarora. They had formed a strong alliance in which each nation pledged to protect the others. This alliance made the Iroquois very powerful. It protected them from outside enemies but ensured them of internal peace. The Iroquois Confederacy had a great impact in the war of the French and Indian war. The Seven Years' War (called the French and Indian War in the colonies) lasted from 1756 to 1763, forming a chapter in the imperial struggle between Britain and France called the Second Hundred Years' War. In the early 1750s, France's expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought it into conflict with the claims of the British colonies, especially Virginia. When Robert Dinwiddie, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, learned that the French had build more forts, he sent out a small party under the command of a young George Washington to deliver a letter of protest to French officials, demanding that they leave the region. The mission was a failure, because the French summarily refused to vacate the area. In 1754, Governor Dinwiddie sought but failed to go get help from the other colonies, because he felt that this was a threat to the safety of the colonies and a barrier to western expansion. To counter this threat, he sent a second expedition to attack a fort, again under the command of George Washington. On May 28, they advanced on the fort, ambushed a French scouting party, and took a number of captives. The colonial forces constructed Fort Nece...

Some colonists, however, appeared frustrated with the policies and laws that followed the war. For instance, the Proclamation of 1763 hit a sour note with the frontier settlers. The proclamation stated that “the trans-Appalachian region to be ‘Indian Country,’ reserved as a homeland for the Indian nations” (Faragher 141). Many settlers in West became enraged at the thought of giving up the lands which they fought for, bled for, and some even died for. The proclamation’s intention in the eyes of the British was to keep peace between the Native Americans and the colonists; while the colonists perceived this a denial of their rights earned through their duty in the war. Despite the outrage, the colonists of the backwoods appeared divided. Some colonists of the backwoods, as mentioned, argued that the land past the Appalachians indeed belonged to the...
