Question 7 • US History Essentials I Sem. 1

What territory did Britain gain from the French and Indian War?

Answer
A
the largely unsettled territory of Louisiana
B
a stretch of land east of the Mississippi River
C
the port of New Orleans and the surrounding land

Explanation

In the 1763 Treaty of Paris, France ceded Britain its claims to land east of the Mississippi River, apart from New Orleans and nearby territory, which went to Spain. So the correct choice is a stretch of land east of the Mississippi River. Louisiana west of the river was not gained by Britain.
