ALL OF MY POINTS!! PLEASE RE-WORD THIS ESSAY!!!!!

The French and Indian War has changed the political, economic, and ideological relations between Britain and its American colonies. When the English debt lead to unfair taxation of the colonists, it had changed the way they felt about their country.
When the French and Indian War ended, the countries colonizing North America shifted. After 1763, English colonies led the new world into what it is now. This took a toll on the political relationship between Britain and the American colonists because it lead to the Proclamation of 1763. The Native Americans believed "they had no right to settle." Since it was their home to begin with. The Proclamation was Britain's idea of preventing further conflict. So to this, It made the colonists very angry for not having their right of freedom. Other political changes included Britain's abandonment of their salutary neglect policy. After the French and Indian War, England was left with the deep debt they had acquired during the previous years. In turn, they began to strictly regulate trade, and impose taxes on commonly used items. Although Britain attributed these changes to their "virtual increase in territory," the colonists were infuriated. They felt this was unjust taxation.
All this sudden taxation and regulation took a toll on the economic relationship between the colonists and their mother country. Prior to the French and Indian War, the Wool, Hat, and Iron Acts forced the Americans to ship their raw the material to Britain, only to later buy the finished products from them. However, with the heavy British taxation, mercantilism was soon abandoned when the colonists decided to fight back. The Stamp Act enraged many of the elite colonists, and as Benjamin Franklin states, they wanted to "get it repeal'd" (Doc D) as soon as possible. With boycotting as their weapon, they practiced non-importation and non-consumption, thus harming the economic relationship the between the two parties.
Although colonial ideological values toward Britain began to change during the war, the colonists' ability to go through with the boycotts proved they could unite to make change. All the taxation and regulation added to the resentment colonists already felt prior to the Proclamation of 1763. Also, the French and Indian War, helped American soldiers realize they had less liberty than Englishmen. A Massachusetts soldier wrote "we are debarred Englishmen's liberty." American resentment that arose during this period helped trigger colonial rebellion.
The French and Indian War is to blame for the American Revolution. Ideologically, it brought up colonial feelings of resentment toward Britain. It also changed the political relationship between England and its colonists because the English were forced to unfairly tax them due to their economical struggles. The colonists in turn, boycotted, thus further damaging their economic relationship with their mother country. So since the Wars’ ending, America was never the same.

In 1763, the French and Indian War ended in favor of the British, bringing about a change in the political, economic, and ideological relationship between Britain and the US colonies. When the French and Indian War ended, the countries that owned land in North America changed, and it led to Britain becoming one of the most powerful country. During this time, the relationship between American colonists and their British government was wary, and eventually led to the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation was Britain wanting to keep conflict from happening, however, it had the opposite effect on their colonists, as they felt that Britain abandoned their rights while imposing unnecessary rules onto them. On top of that, Britain increased the taxes and laws for their American colonists that strictly regulated trade, imposed taxes on commonly used items, and made sure that the Americans did not have relationships with any other European countries. This led to the Americans becoming infuriated because of these unjust taxations.
This sudden change in the amount of laws and taxes placed on the colonists strained the economic relationship the colonists had with their country. For example, the Wool, Hat, and Iron Acts forced Americans to ship their raw material to Britain, and to buy only finished products from them. On top of this, the Stamp Act enraged many of the colonists, and, as Benjamin Franklin stated, wanted the Act(s) to be repealed as quickly as possible. They practiced smuggling and non-importation/consumption of British goods, which strained their relationships even more.
Even though the colonial ideological values towards Britain began to change during the war, the colonists ability to fight back using boycotts proved that when they united together, they can change circumstances. Also, during and after the French and Indian War, the Americans soldiers felt that they had less liberty than the Englishmen. As stated by a Massachusetts soldier when he wrote that “we are debarred Englishmen’s liberty.” Their resentment continued to grow, until it became unbearable and it triggered the Revolutionary War. The French and Indian War was the trigger to the start of the American Revolution, as it changed the political, economic, and social status between England and her colonists, because the English imposed unfair taxes to help pay for their own economic struggles. The colonists, to fight back, boycotted, smuggled, and protested, further damaging their relationships with Britain. Finally, the last straw was when British troops shot into American crowds during the Boston massacre. From that point of history on, all status of countries had changed.(note:horrible ending.. might want to change it)

hope this helps
