It created social, economic along with cultural and ethnic borders and relations reshaping its state borders due to the American Independence War fought by the Spanish, British or France. Indian, French, Spanish, African and even Canadian populations are described and put in the larger context of the evolution of what became the United States. Different interests, cultures, languages and mentalities form what we know today as on the most multicultural state. During the year of 1763, it was multicultural ethnics in America consisting of the Frenchmen, Spaniards, Natives and Africans. France and Britain both wanted power in North America.
When they won the French and Indian War, England had to make a few reforms. King George III declared the Proclamation of 1763, which forbid American colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains in an effort the stabilize relations with the Native Americans. However this angered many colonists who had land grants there and in turn, the Proclamation Line was ignored. This was the start of a series of disagreements between the two lands, as the American citizens began to gain a stronger taste for independence. Enlightenment writers such as John Locke, who patented the idea that it
MID TERM ESSAYS 1. What problems did Britain face after the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) and how did it propose to find solutions? How reasonable were London’s solutions and how did the colonists view them as an attack upon their liberty? Extreme war debt, Debt. Every war costs huge amounts of money; the British were simply trying to raise money to pay the costs of the North American components of the Seven Years War, which was the French and Indian War.
Some Native communities became dependent of trade and began to live near European settlements, and their resettlement made them expose to the epidemics which killed many Aboriginal people who had no natural immunity. Moreover, alliances between Aboriginal people and Europeans often led to economic competition and sometimes caused wars. (e.g., Iroquois fought against Huron people to displace them in the trade with French). In addition, the custom of trading brandy for furs was a destructive aspect. Alcohol abuse contributed to violence in Aboriginal communities, to society disharmony and to the deterioration of an originally healthy Aboriginal population.
After the American Revolutionary War, he joined a band of Shawnee to stop the invasion of white settlers’ flatboats that crossed down the Ohio River from Pennsylvania. “Tecumseh grew up to be a distinguished warrior in the Shawnee tribe.”(tecumsehbio.htm.) As Tecumseh early life, his family had to move about third time because of the attack by colonials and later American armies, as the Shawnee had allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War. His family finally settled near modern Bellefontaine, Ohio. When His tribe was pushed farther west by white settlers, Tecumseh became angry and took many raids to against whites on the frontier.
The Native Americans became angered and after the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded in 1630, they also began to commit bad acts. For example, they killed Anne Hutchinson and her entire family. The relationship of the American Indians and Europeans was negatively impacted by the actions of both parties. The road for more settlement of New England and more conflict with American Indians was set as Europeans still wanted to expand their land and American Indians still wanted to protect their ground. In1606, the Virginia Company of London receives a charter from King James I of England for a settlement of the New World.
The Indians had been persecuted, harmed, and removed from their land by whites ever since the very first years of colonization in America, and Western movement caused the final blow to these people. The Cherokees of Georgia made efforts to learn the ways of the whites by opening schools, adopting a written constitution, and even turning to slaveholding. For these efforts the Cherokees, along with the Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles, they were named the “Five Civilized Tribes.” But, these efforts were not good enough for the whites. In 1830 Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, providing for the transplanting of all Indian tribes then resident east of the Mississippi. In 1838, the US army forced the Cherokees from their homelands in the Trail of Tears into Indian Territory.
Armed conflict in America existed from time immemorial. Wars among Indian nations predated European conflicts by centuries, and when the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch arrived in America, they brought with them the political, religious, and mercantile tensions of Europe, which would continue to echo the wars of the Old World within the New. In the Society of Colonial Wars,1892-1967: Seventy-fifth Anniversary, Nathaniel C. Hale, chronicled the conflicts of the Europeans with the Indians, the AngloDutch conflicts, the intra-colonial squabbles, as well as the grand campaigns between the British and the French. The aim of this historical essay is more modest. It tells the stories of selected conflicts that are examples of the changing relationship between the British settlers, the Indians, the professional British army, and the French.
In 1858, the Government of India Act was passed which striped direct control of India from the East India Company and gave it the British Crown. British involvement and influence within India greatly affected the lives of individuals within India, both nations of India and Britain, and even the entire world. Throughout the rule of the British in India, the effect of the colonial and economic imperialism impacted individuals within the sub-continent in the form of many economic and social changes. On the economic side, many Indian goods were sold overseas by the East India Company, but the government of England viewed India as a large base for British goods; as well as, a source of raw materials. British officials discouraged Indian industry leading to a production of cash crops rather than food crops.
During the beginning of colonial settlement, Britain did not enforce strict laws upon the colonies because it wanted them to prosper. Once war broke out between the French and the British in the French and Indian war, Britain began to enforce harsher laws and greater taxes on the colonies to draw revenue for the war. This in turn, angered the colonists and they began to think twice about having another country rule them. The colonists at the time also violated the same ideals of equality of rights and rule of law when they discriminated against the African Americans, Native Americans, and the poorer white settlers by forcing people into slavery with terrible conditions and taking land just because the colonist needed it. When the French and Indian War broke out between the British and the French, Britain hoped to use the colonies as an extra source of wealth to fight the war.
