The French and Indian War

Question 20 • 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:

Following the war, Britain was left with a massive debt, so it tried to fundraise from the colonies by imposing taxes like the Stamp Act and Sugar Act. The Proclamation of 1763 prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, frustrating colonists eager to move west. These measures fueled colonial resentment and resistance, transforming the war partnership into one of burgeoning conflict.
