I. The situation after the French and Indian War (continued)

B. Americans after the French and Indian War

1. William Pitt had made us two promises that are going to affect our relationship with the Britain

a) He said that Americans and British would be equal

b) He said that the British would take care of the expenses of the war

• “From this point forward, ranks between British officers and their American counterparts will be equal.”

• “The king is pleased to furnish American troops with weapons, ammunition, and tents. Supplies will be provided by the British Treasury. The king will command Parliament to repay expenses to the colonial governments.”

II. The Proclamation of 1763

A. Explanation1. A proclamation from

British King George to keep American settlers from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains

B. British perspective1. When settlers move west,

they create conflicts with the Indians

2. We can’t afford to pay to fight more Indian wars right now

II. Proclamation of 1763 (continued)

C. American perspective1. Many Americans who fought

in the war weren’t paid in gold, they were paid in land. To get that, they have to move west.

2. We helped fight against the Indians. Why are the British protecting the Indians now?

D. What Americans do1. Since the Proclamation is so

hard to enforce, we keep moving west anyway
