Question

Write a letter to a relative from the point of view of an American merchant, soldier, or farmer living in colonial times. Describe either the French and Indian War, the Proclamation of 1763, or the Sugar Act and how it affected them in their particular occupation.

Answer 1

Despite the acquisition of this large swath of land, the British tried to discourage American colonists from settling in it. The British already had difficulty administering the settled areas east of the Appalachians. Americans moving west would stretch British administrative resources thin.

Further, just because the French government had yielded this territory to Britain did not mean the Ohio Valley's French inhabitants would readily give up their claims to land or trade routes. Scattered pockets of French settlers made the British fearful of another prolonged conflict. The war had dragged on long enough, and the British public was weary of footing the bill.
