This concludes our introduction to the French & Indian War

New France

13 English Colonies

Religious Differences There was no religious freedom in New France. In order to live in New France you had to be Catholic.

Conflict Over Territory France and England were both claiming the same territory.

Control of Fur Trade France was extremely interested in the fur trade and the money it brought. When English traders began buying furs from Native Americans and paying high prices for those furs, it made France angry. It hurt their fur business.

Control Fur Trade

French Allies Most of the French colonists were trappers, traders, and fishermen—like the Native Americans. The French could count on help from the Huron and the Algonquin Indians.

England’s Allies Great Britain knew it needed Indian allies if it was going to win the war. In order to gain control of North America, England had to convince the powerful Iroquois Indians to fight on their side.

Advantages For France France controlled access to the interior of North America. New France had a single colonial government that could act quickly. France sent ships and professional soldiers to America rather than depend on military help from its colonists. The French could count on help from such loyal Indian allies as the Huron and the Algonquin.

Advantages For England The population of the British colonies was far greater than the population of New France. The British colonies, concentrated along the Atlantic coast, were easier to defend. As permanent settlers, English colonists were fighting to save their homes and land.
