Backcountry: The back country was important because it had an abundance of water, causing its farms to grow very well without any outside aid.

During these "awakenings," a great many colonists found new meaning (and new comfort) in the religions of the day. Also, a handful of preachers made names for themselves.
English Constitution: The English Constitution (1867) is the best account of the history and workings of the British political system ever written. As arguments raged in mid-Victorian Britain about giving the working man the vote, and democracies overseas were pitched into despotism and civil war,

    As more colonists from Britain began to settle in the colonies, more land was needed to accommodate the larger number of people. In the past, disputes with Indians have been caused by the colonists’ need for land, and its resources, which the Indians needed as well. The Indians would either peacefully move inland, or fight back violently. As King George wanted the Ohio River Valley that France occupied, he sent Washington and his troops to occupy the Ohio River region to claim his presence, thus the competition for the territory, which evolved into the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War was a turning point in American history, for the colonists and colonial affairs were strictly monitored unlike before, and treaties with Indians…

    The Native American allies lost the fur-trade with the French and had to resort to trading with their new neighbors: their enemies. The British Empire was given all of the North American land East of the Mississippi River, including Spanish Florida. Spain gained the formerly French territory to the West. France lost their expansion in North America and was left with only a few islands in the Caribbean. This ended their reign as a major world power, and they would never be able to regain their title.…

    The war was primarily fought along the colonies separating New France, from Virginia to Nova Scotia. France controlled the early part of the war, rounding up British forces. It wasn’t until 1757 that Britain truly threw all its resources into the war. Britain ultimately won the war, but paid a hefty price. After the British victory in the French and Indian War, the political, economic and ideological relations between Britain and its American Colonies were greatly altered. This created high tensions throughout colonial America and would eventually lead to the American Revolution.…

Jonathan Edward and George Whitefield created an attractive and different way of preaching to bring people back to religion after The Enlightenment where people focused on science and reason. They had succeeded and many of people started to believe in religion again. The First Great Awakening had several impacts on the American Colonies. For example, it broke the class and racial barriers, new collages were created to train people to be good preachers, the church’s membership had increased, the colonists began to question authority and all of the thirteen colonies brought together having the same vision of…
