What effect did the French and Indian War have on the Native American tribes who fought in it? They gained new rights because they had contributed to the overthrow of the French. They gained prestige because they had fought alongside the new settlers of their land. They suffered a loss of steady trade in fur, meat, and grain with European traders. They suffered negative consequences because they lost both their land and their allies.

Up here in Canada we call it "The War of the Conquest" since it basically resulted in the conquest of what is now Canada by British and British (American) colonial troops. Ok, so basically you have Britain and France (and usually Spain) hating eachother. France is superior in continental Europe and has an amazing army at this time that Britian cannot compete with. So they decide to strike a blow at France's colonies. (there's alot more to it but that's the background in a nutshell). France and virtually every First Nations people in what is now Eastern CAnada and the United States got along very well. The French and the "Indians" were staunch allies in every case with the exception of the Iroquois Confederacy (who were the only major nation to join the British in the War). So basically France was based out of what is now Quebec in Canada (with a few outposts along the Mississippi and Ohio Valley). They are severly outnumbered by British troops... the French-Canadians put up a huge struggle, but eventually lost becuase of sheer man power and the inability of the French government to adequatley defend its colonies. OK So Britian's colonial troops (Americans) thought that everything West of the Appalachians should be theres. What they ignored (and the Crown didn't ignore) is the fact that there were several dozen Indian Nations on that land already... who had been living on it for thousands years... who didn't like the British very much, who were extremely established with permanent communities, and more importantly.... were armed to the teeth. Britian also acquires Canada... what is now basically quebec and southern ontario. Canada's population at this time is about 90% French-Speaking, rough and tumble fur traders, who by law had the join the army.... so basically every male in the colony above the age of 17 was armed, had an innate knowledge of the backwoods country, had Indian friends, and hated the British. combine all this with the fact that Britain acquired a HUGE DEBT fighting this war. SOOO In order to prevent any revolt from happening, the British sent forth the Quebec Act and the Royal Proclamation. Also because of the war, they decided taht since the war was fought for the colonials, the colonials should help pay for it. As a result, tea taxes, sugar taxes, and postage stamp taxes were levied.... results of this was a pretty angry population that had a Tea Party in Boston and provoked similarily angry responses by the British regulars who saw these "un-thankful" colonials as ignorant of their contributions. The colonials thought (rather ignorantly) that they should have the absolute right to settle any land they wanted, and that the "savage" Indians didn't have any land rights. They also thought they should have the right to settle Canada, which was institutionally prevented in the Quebec Act. Results of this... in a nut shell.... peopel got real mad and started a REvolution.

As a result of the British victory in the French and Indian War, France was effectively expelled from the New World. They relinquished virtually all of their New World possessions including all of Canada. They did manage to retain a few small islands off the coast of Canada and in the Caribbean. They also agreed to stay out of India, which made Great Britain the supreme military power in that part of Asia. In addition, as compensation for Spain's loss of Florida to England, Spain was awarded the Louisiana territory. The entire face of North America had been dramatically changed. Following the war, England issued the Proclamation of 1763, which restricted settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains in an attempt to appease Indians who had developed positive relations with France. Westward-bound settlers, however, ignored the proclamation and moved into Indian lands. Because English had incurred significant debt while fighting the war in and for the colonies, Parliament attempted to recoup the financial loss by issuing the 1765 Stamp Act on the colonists. The Stamp Act was a tax on virtually all printed documents. The tax was ill-received by the colonists, who began a boycott of British goods and even attacked British tax collectors. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act and instead issued the Declaratory Act, which maintained Britain's right to tax the colonists. These tax issues would become the cause of an even greater conflict 10 years later - The American Revolution.

The initial reaction to the monumental British triumph in the Seven Years' War, in North America called the French and Indian War, was an outburst of pride in both England and the colonies. That unity of spirit did not last long, however. Britain was now the master of a massive empire, but it quickly became apparent that a huge debt had been incurred in the process. George III's ministers prepared to reduce the debt and increase control over the colonies. The war soured many British military and political leaders' opinions about the American colonists. The change in perception included the following charges: American loyalties were found wanting. New England shipping interests had traded with the French in the West Indies during the conflict, which demonstrated a greater loyalty to profit than to the mother country. American soldiers had sometimes balked at pursuing the enemy in areas far from home and often performed badly under fire. British commanders held American soldiers in low regard and many had spoken openly about the colonists' lack of backbone. Colonial legislatures had been reluctant to provide funds for the cost of the conflict, but willingly accepted subsidies ordered from the Royal Treasury by William Pitt, the secretary of state. The colonies seemed more willing to rely on funds raised in Britain than to impose taxes at home. These factors were especially galling to the British, who believed that the war had been fought largely for the colonists' benefit and concluded that the Americans were unappreciative and disloyal. The same set of facts was viewed differently in America. At the end of the war, many colonists agreed on the following: Elimination of the French threat in North America was viewed by many colonists as an invitation to move into the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Indians' strategic position had been greatly altered; their trump card — pitting the French against the British — had been removed from the deck. The unbridled expansionism of many Americans was the opposite of what British policymakers had in mind. Many Americans no longer felt the need for the presence of regular British soldiers in their towns and cities. Absence of the French foe enabled many colonists to concentrate on local and personal interests, not imperial concerns. A separate American identity was emerging and an increasing number of colonists no longer regarded themselves as British. An undercurrent of anger had long been a part of the colonial character, but following the war this feeling surfaced. Many men who had served honorably in the conflict deeply resented the British officers' condescending attitudes and refused to forget the many insults they had suffered in silence. The merchant class also seethed. Few accepted the need to curtail their profits in order to fit into the mercantilist mold. They wondered why the economic benefit of those far away was more important than their own. The afterglow of a great victory could not hide a developing rift between the mother country and her colonies. Ironically, British efforts to tighten controls throughout the empire served to ignite the flame of revolution in America.
