How Did The French And Indian War Impact On American Revolution
The French and Indian War Impact on the American Revolution
As Europeans settled the New World, they encountered difficulties that they had not perceived before. The first of which was the Native Americans who were not thrilled on the idea of giving up their ancestral land for European settlement. So, it was not a surprise when conflict arise between the Natives and the Europeans. Because the Europeans brought over diseases that were fatal to the Natives and had more developed weaponry, they were successful in pushing the Natives into the interior of North America. Most immigrants from Great Britain settled near the east coast and as the settlement began to grow, industries and plantations became the main source of wealth in the new colonies.

    Two of the major powers in Europe quickly took the lead in settling the New World. The first, Spain, was very interested in acquiring huge amounts of gold, silver, and other rare valuables. In fact, the only reason they stumbled upon America is because they were en route to the Far East in search of the "fabled wealth of the Indies." What they found turned out to be much more valuable than a shipload of gold. A new continent was discovered-- one with unbelievable potential. Spain was able to take great advantage of its new found wealth, but made some bad decisions that in the long run did not help to solidify their existence in America.

Native Americans helped settlers when they first arrived; teaching them how to grow crops, weave baskets, and make shelter. But tensions quickly rose as settlers became greedy for land and the natural resources around. They promptly enforced a sense of superiority over the Native American Indians whom they presumed were uncivilized and unintelligent. At the beginning of the 19th century, settlers were hungry with their need to expand…

European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…
