The colonists did not truly want to fight the french and indian war. this is shown through the formation of the albany congress specifically to try and avoid the war. they were willing to join to avoid fighting, which is a *huge* deal. they ended up having to fight the war anyway, against their wishes. the only silver lining for the colonists’ fighting the war is that if they won, they would get to move west onto the newly acquired land afterwards. it was extremely difficult to find new land at the time, which was motivation to move west. this is why it was such a big slap in the face to the colonists when the proclamation of 1763 was passed and they weren’t allowed to move west of the appalachians; the only reason they would’ve wanted to fight the war was for the new land and they weren’t even allowed to move and develop it. also, due to the excessive amount of debt britian racked up to fight the french and indian war (and the seven years’ war; the same war that was happening in europe) they started overtaxing the colonists to make that money back. this lead to the cry of ‘no taxation without representation’, and i’m sure you know how it goes from there. i hope this helps!!

Answer:
Being caught again.
Explanation:
As the passage says "Those that wanted to stay around that part of Ohio could stay, but didn’t many of them do it, because there was too much danger that you would be walking along free one night, feel a hand over your mouth, and be back across the river and in slavery again in the morning." This explains that they were to scared to stay, because they didn't want to get caught, and if they did they had to go back into slavery.
