The French and Indian War

Question 12 • SD-Early US History A

How did the French and Indian War change the relationship between Britain and the colonies? Identify at least three examples, and use three complete sentences in your answer.

Answer

Answer:

After the war left Britain with a large debt, it imposed taxes such as the Stamp Act and Sugar Act to raise money from the colonies. The Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, angering colonists who wanted to move west. These policies increased colonial resentment and resistance, changing the relationship from wartime cooperation to growing conflict.
