Answer:

Prior to the Seven Years War, the Colonists in Maryland Were Faithful

Subjects of the King and Lived Under the Protection of the British Military

Explanation:

In 1754, Maryland was a colony of Great Britain. People living in Maryland were

considered to be English citizens and they were governed by British laws. The colony

was ruled by a Royal Governor that reported directly to the King. The colonists

depended upon British merchants to supply them with many important items in their

daily lives including tools, clothing, furniture and weapons.

These goods were sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in large

ships and delivered to ports such as Annapolis, Baltimore,

Oxford, Cambridge and Chester (now Chestertown). In

return, colonial merchants sailed raw materials such as corn,

grain, tobacco and lumber to England. Daily life in

Maryland in 1754 often centered around activities that took

place on the water. Since nearly all trade goods traveled by

boat, most of Maryland’s homes were located within easy

walking distance of a major river. Rivers also provided the

colonists with an important source of food. In the spring,

striped bass, shad and herring were netted by the thousands

as the fish made their annual migrations up the Bay’s rivers

and streams. The Bay’s abundant oyster bars also added a

valuable source of protein to the colonists’ diets.

One of the greatest benefits to being an English

colony was receiving protection from the British military.

This was critical because the colonists had no established

military of their own. As a result, they lived under the

constant threat of invasion by the French and the Spanish,

who were struggling with England for control of North America. Without British

protection, either one of these world powers could have easily overtaken the colonists

and their lands.

In 1755, tensions between England and France led to the beginning of a conflict

known as the Seven Years War. From 1755 to 1762, English and French forces battled

each other throughout the Ohio Valley and Canada for control over the eastern half of

North America. Eventually, the French were driven from their lands and forced to

abandon their North American empire. When the war ended in 1763 with a convincing

English victory, it also left the country with a very large debt. As a result, King George

III decided to raise money by taxing the thirteen colonies. Disagreements over how

these taxes were created and enforced would soon change the relationship between

England and its thirteen colonies forever.

skad [1K]
The Marshall plan was to help build up Western European nations due to the fact that communism spreads easiest in poverty stricken war torn countries. Then to make it worst Europe is a collective of several countries that are closest to America’s borders from the Atlantic, so to further containing communism in the east, they had to solidify the Democracy in the west.
