RF+-Last+of+the+Mohicans-

Relationship Analysis France and England had been experiencing tension in America for about one hundred years before the setting of //The Last of the Mohicans// so their relationship had never been very friendly in the colonies. They both wanted to overpower the other. One way they tried doing this was by controlling more of American than the other. However, this created problems with the natives. Even though both the English and French were conquering their lands, the Native Americans took better to the French. This is partially because the English treated them poorly. England also mistreated the colonists. It demanded and took a great deal of the colonies’ goods. England liked America’s exotic foods and other products and craved it after it’s first encounter, so it used America as its own personal specialty store. This made its relationship with the French colonists uneasy. Because the French colonists did not like England, the English colonists were not fond of the French colonists. The English colonies were wholly interested in overcoming the French in North America. However, when they asked their king for permission to raise armies and monies to defend themselves, the king was suspicious of the intensions of the colonial government and declined their offer. Even England’s relationship with its American colonists was not a healthy one.
