French & English Colonial Wars■The introduction of new English
mercantilist policies changed its economic & military attitude towards the colonies:–England increased protective
tariffs & trade regulations so the colonies worked for motherland
–If that failed, go to war with economic rivals & get the colonists to fight too
These regulations began with the Navigation Acts in 1660
The French & Indian War changed EVERYTHING between
England & the colonies
New mercantilist policies after the French & Indian War led to colonial
resentment & the American Revolution

Turning Point: 1754■1754 proved to be a turning point
in American colonial history■In 1754, English officials &
colonists met to discuss Iroquois problems at the Albany Congress–Benjamin Franklin proposed the
Albany Plan of UnionAlbany Plan of Union for a coordinated colonial army
–The plan was vetoed by colonial assemblies & Parliament
This would give the colonists too much power
The plan was too expensive & would limit each colony’s power to control its own actions

Perceptions of the War■Colonial viewsColonial views:
–Colonies could be very strong when they worked together
–Newly gained frontier presented opportunities for wealth & land
–Colonists learned how to fight■English viewsEnglish views:
–Americans were slow to organize & balked at helping raise money even to protect their own lands

Effects of the War on Britain?■The war increased England’s
colonial empire in North America■But, the Pitt’s “blank check”
greatly enlarged England’s debt■Britain’s contempt for the
colonials created bitter feelings
■As a result, English leaders felt that a major reorganization of its American empire was necessary!

Effects of the War on Americans?■The 1760s were an affluent &
optimistic “post-war” period:
–The French & Indian War united the colonists against a common enemy for the 1st time
–Most colonists considered themselves proud members of England’s empire with little (if any) thought of independence

Parliamentary Sovereignty ■In 1760, George III became king
& began a new colonial attitude: Parliamentary SovereigntyParliamentary Sovereignty
–English officials assumed that Parliament must have ultimate authority over ALL laws & taxes
–The colonists tried to reserve the colonial authority for their own legislatures
![Page 22: ■Essential Question ■Essential Question: –How was 1763 (the year the French and Indian War ended) a “turning point” in the relationship between England](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e115503460f94afc7af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“No Taxation Without Representation”
■The colonists assumed that their assemblies were quasi-equal to Parliament because they had no Parliamentary representatives
■British officials countered with “virtual representationvirtual representation” argument
■The colonists insisted that only their colonial assemblies could tax Americans
Parliament represents ALL British citizens no matter where they live

Two Theories of Representation
■What was the extent of Parliament’s authority over the colonies?
■How could the colonies accept the decisions of Parliament when they did not have representation in that governmental body?

Eroding the Bonds of Empire■After the Seven Years War,
everyone expected George to remove British army from America (French were no longer a threat)
■But…this large, expensive army was not removed –British citizens were not happy
because they had to pay for it–Colonists doubted the army’s
ability to defend against Indians

Pontiac’s War■Backcountry natives banded
together to repel white frontier settlers during PontiacPontiac’’s Wars War:–Indian successes exposed the
British army’s weakness–Attacks revealed desperation of
Native Americans after the withdrawal of their French allies
–Colonials took matters into their own hands (Paxton Boys in PA)
English colonists flooded across the Appalachian Mountains:
“There’s all this land & no French!!”

Fort DetroitPontiac’s Rebellion, 1763
■ Chief Pontiac led the Ottawa & other tribes against colonists due to:–The flood of colonists into Ohio Country –British “gifts” of smallpox-infected
blankets from Fort Pitt

Retaliatory attacks by frontier colonists (like the Paxton Boys in Pennsylvania) were common

The Proclamation of 1763■In response to Pontiac’s War, the
British government established the Proclamation Line of 1763Proclamation Line of 1763:–This law forbade colonists from
settling across the Appalachian Mountains (for their own protection)
–Americans viewed the line as an obstruction to their “legitimate economic development”

New Political Ideas■The introduction of Parliamentary
sovereignty contradicted England’s original policy of salutary neglect–The influx of new political ideas of
the European Enlightenment began to impact colonial thought (especially those of John Locke)
–While no colonists were thinking of independence by 1763, many became committed to “natural rights” & opposed to “tyranny”
All gov’ts are susceptible to corruption, tyranny, & intrusion upon citizens’ liberty
“Virtuous” citizens must fight tyranny

Rule Britannia? ■Despite the mounting tensions
between the English government & American colonists by 1763, most Americans were loyal “brothers” to England due to:–a shared British culture–dependence upon British
consumer goods–shared nationalism after British
military victories against France
