ObjectiveWe will determine how both political
and social events in Europe helped lead to the race for dominance in North America. We will understand the
conflicts between European countries in North America, and the multi-layered relationships between the five major
groups of peoples. We will link the events in the 1600’s through the mid
1700’s to the beginnings of the American Revolution
THE FRENCH
• Controlled much of Canada, The Mississippi River down to Louisiana, and parts of the Caribbean and the Ohio Valley
THE FRENCH
Major Economic Endeavors included Beaver Pelt Trade in the
North and Sugar Cane in the Caribbean
Sparsely Populated North America, only about 7000 French
in North America in 1750
Conflicts in North America included:King William’s War 1689 – 1697Queen Anne’s War 1702 – 1713
Both pitted British Colonists against French couruers de bois (fur traders)
Both sides allied with Native Indian Tribes. The Spanish eventually ally with the French in Queen Anne’s War. Both Wars start in Europe and bleed into North America.
Conflicts in North America (cont’d)War of Jenkins Ear Starts 1739 King George’s War Ends 1748
War of Jenkins Ear between the British and Spanish in the Caribbean. This war bleeds into the War of Austrian Succession, or King George’s War. French and Spanish allied against the British.
Again, a largely European War that effects North America.
Conflicts in North America (cont’d)French & Indian War 1754-1763Seven Years War
Known as the Seven Years War in Europe, the French & Indian War is the first major war actually started on North American Soil. The French, Spanish and various Native American Tribes fight the British and their allied Native American Tribes
George Washington:Sent to the Ohio Valley as a Colonel to protect land claims of Virginian Settlers. Along the way, he and his men fire on French Soldiers, ushering the start of the French and Indian War.
Albany Congress:Called by Britain in 1754 in Albany to ensure the colonies were united against France, and to ensure the support of the Iroquois Indians
QUESTION: How might the Albany Congress have helped lead to the Declaration of Independence over 20 years later?
Battle of Quebec 1759Turning point of the War, Britain takes Quebec. Britain takes Montreal in 1760, the last time a French Flag would fly over Canada.
Treaty of Paris 1763
Ends the French and Indian/Seven Years War. How is this map different than the one we say earlier?
Pontiac Uprising-Ottawa Indian Chief Pontiac attempted to drive the British out of the Ohio Valley with a number of allied Indian tribes. The British retaliate by passing out blankets infected with smallpox to Indian villages. The uprising was soon dealt with, but led to the Proclamation Act of 1763
Proclamation of 1763Act passed by the British government that prohibited colonial settlement beyond the Appalachians
