The impact of the French and Indian War on interior Indian tribes was devastating. Despite winning, the British Empire dug itself in a financial hole, creating huge debt and unfinished business between the british and the colonies. In return, the colonies learned that they too could unite forces and fight the new common enemy: British. After their loss, the French left the colonies’ territories and consequently the British government decided to impose a proclamation that denied the right to the colonists of expanding territories west of Allegheny Mountains.…
The Indian’s won, and offered a deal. The colonist would be able to stay in the thirteen colonies, but they couldn’t settle across the Alps. The Pontiac’s rebellion was about colonist expansion. Boom, the French and Indian war was over, but Pontiac’s rebellion continued. Pontiac was down in the mouth about the colonist expansion.…
The native Americans loved this land. When the white man started to invade and take over there land. the Shawnee had to do something to try to save and protect there land from the new settlers. This is what all started the battle of Point Pleasant. On October 10th 1774 Andrew Lewis took around 1,100 men to battle with him to defeat the tribes lead my Chief Cornstalk.…
The French and Indian war lasted about seven years and was sparked in the colonies. There is a back story to the war with some details that I didn 't learn until I got to college. The French set up a post in what is known as Pittsburgh today; which at the time was claimed to be “owned” by Virginia. So the English tell the French to get off their land, but their is another factor at play, the Huron people believe that they “owned” the land.…
The French and Indian War was fought between the British ( or colonist), the French, and the Indians with some on both sides. The issue was started because of wanting to claiming colonial territory for their own individual countries. They both wanted to dominate the lands within the now known United States of America, that were unclaimed at the time. George Washington, our later future president, and a few of his men provoked the beginning of the war when they went to the Ohio region to tell the French troops to leave the territory they were staying at. However, the French obviously did not listen the the demand.…
After Europeans came to America, the greed of Europeans wanting land forced Indians to constantly move. Each war resulted in Indians signing treaties involving losing their land. After the War of 1812, the desire for land increased, causing…
The people involved in the French and Indian war were, the French, the Indians, and the British. And the war was fought from 1756-1763. The French and Indian war was fought because Britain wanted to gain more power so the wanted Frances land in North America. Britain was victorious and gained a lot of the land in North America. The British was angry because they thought the colonist didn't try hard enough to help fight the French.…
However, this just caused more problems. You see, when creating the treaty, France and England forgot about the many Native Americans that they shared land with. So, the indians were left with an unfair amount of…
Everyone kept mostly the same amount of land. If the British restrict the United States trade then there will be a war. There are many things that lead up to the War of 1812. One of the things is that the British attempt to restrict the U.S. trade ( History.…
America and England had intertwined economies that supported each other with things such as land expansion, but separated due to their conflicting ideas on the American value of economic freedom of the taxation of the colonies. During the French and Indian War, England expanded American land by seizing French and Indian territory. A map of territorial change shows the difference in land owned before and after the French and Indian War and the Treaty of Paris. England claimed much more land past the Ohio River Valley in America (Document C). Britain was willing to help America gain land which was economic support because the amount of land a country is able to maintain is a large part of a country’s economy.…
If asked, most people would point to the Revolutionary war as the war that made America. After all, it was when America declared independence from England and began to stand as its own nation, when all those lofty ideals of equality and liberty flourished and began to shape the modern American identity. But Fred Anderson makes a very different argument; that it was in fact the French and Indian war that would ultimately make the nation into what it is today by radically altering the political landscape in North America, creating the climate for those ideas to take form in the first place and, more importantly, by stripping the native populations of North America of power and allies, leaving them helpless against an encroaching white population. What begun as a power struggle between three major players – British, French, and Iroquois – in North America for control of…
The French and Indian War was caused by the conflict involving the Ohio River Valley, and if it was part of the British empire or the French Empire. The Native Americans of the Ohio River Valley were allied with the French at the time, and fought with them in the war. Throughout the war many of the Native Americans lost their lives, trying to protect their allies. Many of the tribes that were allied with the French had now created an enemy with the British, as well. The Iroquois Confederacy, who were allied with the British even suffered.…
While the French were being defeated in Canada by the British around 1760, the British were simultaneously battling in the Indies, Europe, Asia, and more but the outcome in North America was the most important part. Ratified in 1763, the Peace of Paris transferred an ample amount of North American territory from the French and Spanish to British control. Britain acquired Canada, all of France’s North American territories east of the Mississippi River expect for New Orleans, and Spain’s Florida while the French were given back most of the sugar islands. The defeat of the French in Canada was unfortunate for the Native Americans considering that they could no longer play the French and British against each other, the British didn’t care about trading or negotiating, and the British were not against using violence to remove the Native’s so that the British could gain more land. This essentially changes the relations between the Native Americans and the British.…
To understand what exactly led to the eventual fighting between the Native Americans and European settlers, one must first learn the cultural differences between them. While, some Native American’s learned to “coexist” with new foreign settlers trading and interacting with them, other natives did not like these invaders and were eventually destroyed, usually by force. These new Europeans tried to bring their new way of life to the natives while these people just wanted to maintain their traditional and natural way of life. Native Americans wanted to live for their family, religion and becoming one with nature. They believed that all things were connected spiritually and that their actions could directly influence nature around them.…
This was an issue since the natives did the rational thing and chose their own over the foreigners. “The seal of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is a Native person saying, “Come over and help us. This was the way the Puritans imagined the Indians were receiving them, as coming to help them, help them to salvation.” (The Relationship Between Puritans and Indians). With the confusion of territory purchases the colonists and natives ended up in a brutal battle for control of resources.…
