  1. The Colonists After the French and Indian War

  2. Restless Colonists • Colonists gained confidence and experience in military strategy and strength • 20,000 Americans had been recruited however they had issues with the British officers who regarded them as poorly trained back woods soldiers

  3. American Colonists on their own Terms • American shippers continued to export food to the Spanish and French West Indies even though Britain is fighting these two powers on a larger global stage • British forbid the export of all supplies from New England and the Middle Colonies • Do you think that it is fair for the colonies to continue to export to British enemies?

  4. Intercolonial Disunity • Largely a result of distance, geographic barriers, conflicting religions, nationalists, government, boundary disputes, etc. • Tension between those who feel that some colonists want to rights of Englishmen without the duties and responsibilities that come along with those rights

  5. Barriers Begin to Breakdown • The French and Indian War was the first time that these barriers start to be broken down • Colonists realize that they share a common language and common ideals as Americans

  6. Proclamation of 1763 • Issued by London • Prohibited settlement beyond the Appalachians • Not designed to oppress colonists but to handle negotiations with the Natives • If you were a colonist in 1763 how do you feel about this Proclamation? Why?
