How did the French & Indian War alter the polotical, ecenomic, & ideological realtionship btw Brit & Colonies?

Answer 1

From the F & I war, Britain received all lands east of the Mississippi river. They did not want the colonists moving into the new lands, because it was occupied by Native Americans. Britain was strapped for cash and did not want to expend the resources defending the colonists against the Native Americans. So, they set up a procolmation line that the colonist couldn't cross. Of course the Americans crossed it. Britain sent soldiers to enforce the line, and decided the colonists should pay for it. Hence, the stamp act, sugar act, intorable acts, etc. Which were all stepping stones to the American revolution.

Answer 2

For years before the French and Indian War, the colonies were mostly autonomous and were experiencing a period known as "salutary neglect" by England, where the British let the colonists rule themselves. However, after the French and Indian War the British demanded that the colonists should help with all the debts that the British had incurred because they had defended the colonies during the war. The colonies were infuriated because they were so used to governing themselves. They didn't like the idea of one person who lived 3,000 miles away ruling them. Therefore, the colonists took various actions that were essentially rebellions to the different taxes that were levied on them by the king of England. This whole process was big factor that contributed to the American Revolutionary War.

Answer 3

This is a heavy question but I think I can put in my 10 cents worth. I believe that the reason ships were sent up and down the east coast of Australia and the first years of settlement was for 2 reasons. Firstly more space to send the convicts and grow food but secondly to establish the site so that the French could not settle there and claim it. If there were troups and convicts at bays and inlets the French ships were less likely to set up camp there.

Answer 4

Many argue it ended up straining the relationship and led to the American war of indepedence. Britain didn't feel the colonies contributed enough for the war effort/costs so they intitiated taxes to cover some of the war debt (also because people in Great Britain were becoming incensed about being further taxed).
