The French and Indian War

Question 8 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History A-CR

What was one economic effect of the French and Indian War on American colonists?

Answer
A
Many shipbuilders gained wealth as a result of supplying the military.
B
Many farmers lost money when the military raided their crop stores.
C
Many colonists gained greater wealth as the British lowered taxes.
D
Many colonists lost money as British troops drove them from their homes.

Explanation

The French and Indian War created demand for ships and other supplies for the British military. Shipbuilders who supplied that demand could earn more money, so the correct choice is “Many shipbuilders gained wealth as a result of supplying the military.” The war did not lead Britain to lower taxes; afterward, Britain instead imposed new taxes on the colonies.
