3. Road to Revolution Begins
The French and Indian War
Road to Revolution Begins

4. Conflict Begins Between England and it’s colonies
By 1750 the colonies were growing rapidly due to:
Cheap land
Religious tolerance
Economic opportunity
BUT most importantly, England had left the colonies alone to solve their own problems
Salutary Neglect
With this growth, colonists hoped to move across the Appalachian Mountains and into the Ohio River Valley

6. France and England Claim the Ohio River Valley
Both France and England claimed this area
France wanted to control trade with the Indians
Britain wanted to extend the colonies to gain more land VS

8. War Begins and Spreads
From war raged throughout the colonies
Benjamin Franklin tried uniting the colonies with the Albany Plan of Union
Purpose: to unify the colonies in order to better govern themselves and defeat the French
Rejected: Colonial legislatures did not want to give up control

10. The Treaty of Paris, 1763 Terms of the treaty:
Britain gains all land from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River
France gives Louisiana (area west of the Mississippi) to Spain for their help

12. Pontiac’s Rebellion
Pontiac, an Ottawa Indian, wanted to stop the loss of Native land
The fighting between the colonists and the Ottawa became known as Pontiac’s Rebellion
British decided that the western land would be expensive to defend so they passed the Proclamation of 1763
Outlawed settlement west of the Appalachian Mts., including the Ohio River Valley…land they had just won!

14. Proclamation of 1763
This angered colonists who had just fought a war for that land
Moving west was the only option for same farmers to get land
The British government was angry also
Colonists refused to pay extra taxes to defend the land against the Ottawa
They started to ignore the colonists’ arguments
Hostility helped fuel the Revolution…
