Question

Which statement best describes the land claims in North America prior to the French and Indian War that would eventually lead to the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

Prior to the French and Indian War, the American Colonists wanted to extend their territory to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, in what is now the Midwest.

The British Crown opposed this because they did not want to have conflicts with the Native Americans in these lands, and with the French.

In the end, the conflict became impossible to avoid, and the British won, and the land was granted to the Empire.
