EEG+Turning+Point+of+French+Indian+War

America in the late 18th century played host to a rebellion of massive proportions. This was not something that came around the night before. __The French-Indian War had a direct impact that showed the differances between British and Colonial soldiers to cause this war__. Laws that were passed immeadiately after this war also had a heavy impact.

British and Colonial mitlitary differences shone during the Seven Years War. The British Army stuck to the "gentleman" style of fighting where the people all shot, reloaded, and charged together. However, the Americans knew the terrain and how horrible of an idea that was, and this caused the American militias to stick to guerilla warfare.Through tough drills and dicipline, the British thought they were better than the American militias beacuse the militias were not drilled at all and fought only to protect their homes and colony. Elected leaders of the militias were frustrated by the officers that were placed into the British Army who melded the militilas into their ranks and drills. Through strong militatry differences, the people of the colonies soght to break off from these roots that were the polar opposite of their current society.

The Treaty of Paris (1763) officially ended the war; laws that came to follow caused great unrest in the colonies. The Proclimation Line of 1763 was misunderstood by the colonies. King George III did it to ashure protection from the natives and their debt would not increase with the passeing years. However, the colonists saw this as a direct attack at what they were fighting for. They thought they just had their birthright stripped from them, and the Paxton Boys showed the first deliberate cross of the line and rebellion against the king. The four acts under Greenville also showed how horrible they though England was for this. A Sugar Act was put in place but failed for the lack of a military presence. The Currency Act annoyed the colonies, and the Quartering Act caused a atricle in our Constiturtion. Throguh the hassles after the war, the people of the colonioes began their slow and sure trail to rebellion.

The American Revolution came up soon n 1776, only 13 after the French-Indian War. Both the differences in military practies and the laws after the war caused the unrest to spark the revolution. For simple freedoms and common goals, the joing of the people in the colonies gave them a chance after the Seven Years War to stand against England.
