JL+Essential+Question+-+French+&+Indian

The major turning point during the French and Indian war during 1763-1774 were due towards their effects on the economical and social status.

The British had major disconnect with themselves, the soldiers did infact carry on their very own traditions. They manuifactured goods to the colonies, this increased the colonial empire in the Americas. Their contempt for the colonial created the better feeling towards themselves. France had lost Canadian possessions, most of the empire in India, and some claims to lands east of the Mississippi River. Spain had recovered all of the land that the French lost which were west of the Mississippi River, and New Orleans. Out of this, England had gained Florida from Spain, they also had land in Canada, and exclusive rights to the Caribbean slave trade. England had commercial dominance in India.

Economically, the British were in debt, about 2 million dollars due to the increasing of the colonial empire in America. They left this deed to payoff by the tax payers. They lose most of their lands to different countries that helped better the American colonies. In 1763, there was Pontiac's Rebellion, which lasted for about 18 months. They eventually ran out of ammunition, so they sided with America. Yet what they got in return, was the gift that keeps on giving, small pox which killed off many. That does spark the Proclamation which stated that no American colonist were to settle west of the Appalation Mountains.
