Discuss the outcome and results of the French and Indian War and how the war helped bring on the American Revolution. Explore time period from 1763 through 1767.

 The French and Indian war started because both The French and The British wanted to expand in the New World. However, The French already had possession of Louisianna Territory, the Mississippi, and Canada. In order for the English to expand the French had to leave or be beaten. This brought on three colonial wars. The King Williams War (1689-1697), Queen Anne's War (1702-1713), and King George's War(1744-1748). After these three wars nothing had been accomplished. The French and Indian War was the fourth war(1754-1763). Many battles were fought during this war which had major part to do with Gen. George Washington. Battles were fought over locations such as Fort Duquesne, Fort Necessity, and finally Fort Quebec. When the war was voer The British had won.

The Treaty of Paris of 1763 then went into effect which claimed many new territorries for various nations. The British gained Canada, All french claim east of Mississippi and Florida Channel. The Spanish gained the Louisianna Territory. The French gained nothing. The British became the most powerful nation in the world as a result

However, the British still had two conflicts. One was their uncertain relationship with the Indians. The Indians were still upset with The British because they had taken away their goods. Cheif Pontiac forms a raid and militia puts down the revolt at Bushy Run. Thus the Procolmation Line of 1763 was established to seperate the colonists from the Indians. This upset colonists because it prevented them from expanding west. Also The British sent 10,000 troops to the colonies in case of more Indian Revolts. This resulted in the Quartering Act which made colonists feed and house British troops while they were in the New World. Colonists did not want to take care of these soldiers and they were often maid fun of. In Boston children would often throw snowballs at the soldiers. In 1770 the Boston Massacre happened after an adult threw a snowball at a soldier and the soldier shot him dead. 5 adults ended up dying. Colonists really hyped it up.

Another Conflict due to the war was The British were heavy in debt. They thought since the colonies were British they could tax them on various goods and take care of much of the debt problem this way. This resulted in multiple acts such as The Sugar Act of 1764, The Stamp Act of 1765(which forced all documents to be stamped to be legal. Upset many such as Lawyers, landowners and businessmen.) and The Townsend Act of 1767(which taxed multiple goods such as tea, glass, and lead). These acts were all eventually repealed because due to multiple reasons. Many of the colonists boycotted these items which actually resulted in more money lost for The British. Also, groups such as The Stamp Act Congress formed to try to put a stop to theses acts. After the Townsend Acts were repealed the Tea Act came in to play where only colonies could buy tea(which was still being taxed) from The British. This resulted in revolts such as The Boston Tea Party in 1773. The British then punished the Colonists with The Intolerable Acts putting Boston leader in more power and closing off Boston port until tea was paid for. The colonists simply wanted to be left alone without further taxing. They wanted the old policy back of salutary neglect.

In conclusion, The colonists ultimately wanted back the old policy of salutary neglect and were fighting in hopes of regaining this policy. However, The British were heavy in debt and saw these acts as the ultimate way to pay off the debt. This was why there was so much conflict between The British and the colonies and the majority of the reason for the upcoming Revolutionary War.
