The French and Indian War: Understanding P.O.V. Every story has two sides to it—even in history! As we learn about the French and Indian War, we will explore BOTH sides of the story—the British and the American perspectives.

NOTES: The French and Indian War The French and Indian War (7 Years War)was a conflict between France and Britain over colonial territory in North America. Before the war, land to the west of the 13 colonies was owned by France. Much of the land in the Ohio River Valley, however, was claimed by BOTH the French and the British.

War Breaks Out! The French wanted to control this region, and they got upset when the British colonists tried to trade with the Natives in the Ohio Valley region. War broke out between France and Great Britain. The British won the French and Indian War. France agreed to give over control of most territory to Great Britain. The British took control of almost all French land east of the Mississippi River.

Land Before and After the War Before the French and Indian War Following the French and Indian War

British POV The British spent millions on defending the colonies, it was only fair to have the American colonists help pay for the war. The King was also tired of defending the colonists from attacks by Native Americans. To avoid conflict between the Natives and American colonists, he created the Proclamation Line of 1763. According to this proclamation, no colonists could settle west of this line (west of the Appalachian Mountains).

AMERICAN COLONISTS’ POINT OF VIEW: American colonists believe that after helping Britain fight this war, they felt they should have the right to settle west of the Proclamation Line. They were also angry that King George III passed new taxes on the colonies, without allowing Americans to vote in Parliament They argue that “taxation without representation” is unjust.

Key Take Aways The French and Indian War began as a LAND DISPUTE between the colonists and the French The English Won the French and Indian War The Proclamation Line of 1763 Said American Colonists were not allowed to settle across the Appalachian Mountains (This was the LINE) Wars cost $$$-the end of the French and Indian War left England in a lot of Debt To pay for the Debt England raised taxes on the colonists The Colonists did not mind paying the taxes, but became ANGRY ABOUT NOT HAVING REPRESENTATION in Parliament
