#3- French/Indian War (9.16.09)
===// From 1763 to 1774 the French and Indian War was a major turning point between Britain and the thirteen colonies. __During this time period the British removed their salvatary neglect and became involved in the colonial affairs. Many new laws were passed and the colonists began to loose their rights as Englishmen.__ The British attempted to transform their empire, but did not succeed. //// After the Seven Years’ War, the British were 1,032 million pounds in debt. In order to save money, and gain it, there were several actions taken. The Proclamation Line of 1763 was put into law by King George III. It ensured the Native Americans would behave, but was disliked by the colonists. The colonies lost their freedom to expand and it hurt the trading economy. The Sugar Act (1764) was an additional amendment to the Molasses Act of 1738, and it placed a tax on sugar. The colonist also were taxed for the printing of several items (Stamp Act) and had to feed and house English soldiers for as long as they needed (Quartering Act). The colonists had very high taxes and were sick of the King controlling them. //===
