    The French-Indian War was a major turning point in relations between the Americans and the British. American colonists were generations removed from their British ancestry, and it showed on the battlefield. The Brits and Americans had different tactics and ideals during the war. These differences created bitterness between the Americans and British economically, theologically, and socially following the war due to the fact that the British controlled the colonies and could therefore tax them/tell them what to do. If two countries hate each other, and one of the countries has control of the other one, problems are bound to arise, as they did between America and Britain following the French-Indian War. These problems would eventually lead to the American Revolution.…

    Native American relations. Early colonial-Indian relations were an uneasy mix of cooperation and conflict. On the other were a long series of difficult, skirmishes and wars, which almost invariably resulted in an Indian defeat and further loss of land. Although Native Americans benefitted from access to new technology and trade, the disease and thirst for land which the early settlers also brought posed a serious challenge to the Indian's long-established way of life. Those Indians who traded initially had significant advantage over rivals who did not. Some friendly natives were no longer…

    In modern English “ Consumer and consumption are the predominant descriptive nouns of all kinds of use of goods and services” ( Williams 17). The interactions between Native Americans and Europeans showed the consume and consumption of goods between two groups. As early 1607 the Europeans made contact with Natives Americans and traded their goods in exchange for the others.

    The French and Indian war went on from 1756 to 1763. It was also known as the Seven Years’ War, it lasted seven years. It greatly involved the Native Americans and affected the relationship that they had with the French. The British and the French were fighting to see who would take over the colonies in North America. The British won. After the British won the French and Indian war, they began taking over the colonies and started to take some rights away from the Americans. For example, the British gained a lot of property in North America as a result of winning the war and they wanted to limit property, so they restricted the colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains. The British had also put many of their soldiers in America to protect their interests, and that made the colonists feel unsafe. The British also started taxing the Americans and enacting new laws because of the debt that they were left with after the war. The Americans were being pushed to the limit; it was not fair what was being done. They were being treated unfairly. These points were when the feelings of disloyalty towards the British began to arise in the American colonists.…

    The differences between French and British colonization lie primarily in their regional diplomatic strategies. New France's strategy for diplomacy with Indians was to form alliances and establish trade relations. This was an absolute necessity, as the French were very weak due to their lack of colonists (only 25,000 in 1720). The British, however, were not near as concerned about creating alliances with the Natives as they had such a large population in colonial North America (almost 400,000 in 1720). Also, unlike the French, the British colonial economy was more agriculture-based and less trade-based, making them less dependent on Indian relations. The larger numbers of British colonists can be attributed to the fact that most of them were…
