Question

Why did Pontiac lead a rebellion against the British following the French and Indian War?

Answer 1

Answer:

Colonists began to move west, and American Indians lost land and power.

Explanation:

• Although the North American Indians were more supportive of the French than the English, their main hope was that a mutual war between the invaders would slow the occupation of the Native American territories.
• Although the signed peace stipulated that the British would not make settlements west of the Apache Mountains, this was not respected on the ground. The Crown, shared by an entire ocean, had neither the desire nor the ability to prevent and punish settlers who would make their settlements west of the mountains, and it was difficult to restrain them, since they believed that by winning the French they had become masters of that space. Soon settlements and fortifications began to ebb and flow across Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
• For Indians, this was an indication that the war was not over for them. With extensive experience in fighting the British, armed primarily with French weapons, the Indians felt that it was the right time to embark on a full-scale attack, which would limit the advance of the British to the west.
