  1. Interest in the Ohio Valley (Page 34) • English: Colonists want to move west (valuable farmland) • French: lifeline between Canada & Louisiana • Indians: it’s their home

  2. The French & Indian War (Page 35) • Beginning of the War (French build forts/Ohio Valley) (westward growth/threat) (Fort Duquesne, Pittsburg) (Washington sent to stop French) (small victory, surrenders) (War begins, beginning/went bad/British) (Indians attacked, Penn.-North Carolina) (British invade) • The Albany Plan of Union (British need colonial help) (Franklin’s plan, govt./recruit/tax) (failure, gain experience) • British Victory (William Pitt) (Canada became objective) (defeat/French) (Peaceof Paris) (French threat, gone?) • Immediate Effects of the War (England, naval power) (unchallenged/North America) (French/Indian threat gone) (greatest change, relationship between England/colonists)

  3. British View (low opinion/Colonists) (disorderly rabble) (contributions/poor) (unable/unwilling to defend frontiers) • Colonial View (low opinion/British) (not impressed?) (can’t adapt to fighting conditions/leadership) (proud/contributions) (capable of defending/ruling themselves)

  4. Reorganization of the British Empire (Page 37) • Salutatory Neglect: (too much independence) (left alone) (if caught, low price) • War Debt: (4 costly wars) (large army left behind) (King/Parliament want Colonists/pay) • King George III: (German kings) (porphyria) • Pontiac’s Rebellion (Colonists/encroachment) (bad gifts) (attack from Va./Penn.) (Britain sends troops, no Colonists) (stabilized the “rebellion”) • Proclamation of 1763 (keep Colonists out/Indian lands) (stay west/Appalachians) (prevent further hostilities) (anger/defiance, hoped access to lands) (attempt/control) (thousands streamed westward)

  5. Reactions to Proclamation Line of 1763 British • It’s expensive to send troops & protect the Colonists • Colonists, stay in your area Colonial • We deserve the farmland • Why are you restricting us?
