    On, the 11th of April of 1713 through a series of agreements Britain and France concluded the War of Spanish Succession by signing the Treaty of Utrecht. Amongst many of the agreements in the treaty, France seceded the territory where Acadia, present day Nova Scotia, to the British. Following the acquirement of Acadia, Britain had to decide the course of action it wanted to take in regards to the Acadians. Would they allow them to continue with their day to day lives? Did they pose a threat? The British attempted to get the Acadians to sign on oath of allegiance to the British Crown. However, when the Acadians refused to sign the oath. Consequently, the British responded with the deportation of a large number of Acadians. From 1755 to 1762 approximately 12,000 Acadians from were removed from their homes.

    The Native American tribes in the Western frontier played a major role in the Virginia revolutionary movement. The elite Virginian gentry?s desire for Western Native American lands rapidly grew in the mid-eighteenth century. The wealthy Virginians made many attempts to attain these lands and the Native Americans resisted hard to defend what their land. Furthermore, the British government was more accommodating to the Natives than the Virginians wished. Parliament was careful not to incense native tribes for fear of a costly war or rebellion. A British official exclaimed that Indian rebellions (specifically Pontiac?s Rebellion) were ?expensive and destructive to his Majesty?s Subjects.? For example, in October 1768, the British imposed the Treaty of Hard Labor, which resulted in the Cherokee Indians retaining land that Virginian Thomas Jefferson had claimed. Two more major British treaties enraged the Virginia land speculators. The treaty of Easton in 1758 decreed all lands west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Indians. This treaty caused problems for many speculators and farming companies. However, the major calamity to the Virginian gentry was the Proclamation of 1763. Although the proclamation did little to stop settlers from…

    The map indicates the relationship between time, land, and policies, which affected the Indians. The Indian Tribes have been forced to give up their land as early as the 1720s. Between the years 1721 and 1785, the Colonial and Confederation treaties forced the Indians to give up huge portions of their land. Successively, during Washington's, Monroe's, and Jefferson's administration, more and more Indian land was being commandeered. The Washington administration signed the Treaty of Holston and other supplements between the time periods of 1791 until 1798 that made the Native Americans give up more of their homeland land. The administrations during the 1790's to the 1830's had gradually acquired more and more land from the Cherokee Indians. Jackson followed that precedent by the acquisition of more Cherokee lands.…
