Answer:

hope this help !

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. ... The war had an equally profound but very different effect on the American colonists. First of all, the colonists had learned to unite against a common foe.Seven of the colonies made an effort in 1754 to devise a plan of closer association. Their governors met at Albany to agree upon a treaty with the Iroquois. Benjamin Franklin, who was present, offered a scheme of colonial union which, if adopted, might have prevented or delayed the American Revolution. It called for a congress with power to negotiate with the Indians, control the public lands, maintain military forces, and collect taxes for common objects.
