Answer 6

The war led to many negative opinions about the American colonists by British military and political leaders:
(1) American loyalties were considered suspect
(2) British commanders held American soldiers in low regard and many had spoken openly about the colonists' lack of courage.
(3) Colonial legislatures had been reluctant to provide funds for the cost of the war.

These factors especially angered the British, who believed that the war had been fought largely for the American's benefit and concluded that the Americans were unappreciative and disloyal.

The same set of facts was viewed differently by the colonists. At the end of the war, many colonists agreed that:
(1) Elimination of the French and Indian threat west of the colonies was viewed by many colonists as an invitation to westward expansion.
(2) Many Americans no longer felt the need for the presence of regular British soldiers in their towns and cities.
(3) A separate American identity was emerging and an increasing number of colonists no longer regarded themselves as British.
(4) An undercurrent of anger had long been a part of the colonial mind-set, but following the war this feeling surfaced more and more.

The Britiish-American victory may have actually exacerbated the discord between the two countries. Some historians think this is where the seeds of the American Revolution were planted.

I started out a history major.

Answer 7

By the way, Washington has a major defeat during the war, but was able to parlay his military "experience" into leading the Continental Army during the Revolution. Another war in which he lost quite a few battles... but won the war!
