1. During the 1600s and 1700s, the British and the French were engaged in the settlement of North America. They wanted land for the colonies for the beneficiaries of the raw materials and commercial tales the colonies would bring. Then, Benjamin Franklin proposed the Union Plan of Albany in the colonies that formed a United Government. However, each individual colony would have to renounce some powers and not a colony. This made the colonial war a start, where the french were partially successful. For this reason the Proclamation of 1763 was created. Also, the taxes increased and trade laws were strengthened in order to help pay for the war.
2. To help appease the Native Americans, the British King George also declared that settlers should not settle west of the Appalachian mountains. In order to guarantee that the colonists obeyed him, 10,000 soldiers were sent to the 13 colonies. A few years later, to help pay for the war, Britain would increase taxes and trade laws, causing more problems with the settlers. The French and Indian war was a precursor.
3. The French and the Native American carried out raids and captured western colonial farms and fortresses. The French loss was a big problem for Native Americans. The British raised the cost of commercial products. They refused to pay the Native Americans for the use of their lands.
4. The fight between North America and the British/French ended in 1763, when Britain defeated France and ended wha is known in Europe as the "Seven Years of War"
