Chapter 4 Section 1

The rivalry between the French & British in the 1600’s and 1700’s led to a war. In 1740 a common interest in the Ohio River valley led to tensions between the French and the British. Both sides began building forts to claim the territory. George Washington was asked to intervene for the British and expel the French. The American troops started toward the Ohio River in the spring of After a brief battle, Washington and his troops retreated.

The British government suggested that the American colonies form an alliance with the Iroquois. Albany Conference- the Iroquois agreed to remain neutral and the colonists agreed that Britain should name one supreme commander of all the British troops in the colonies.

The conference issued the Albany Plan of Union— the first suggestion that the colonies unite to form a federal government. British commander in chief, General Edward Braddock, appointed George Washington to serve as his aide. In 1755 French and Native American forces ambushed the British troops near Fort Duquesne in western Pennsylvania. Washington’s leadership saved the British from disaster. For the next two years, the French and Indian War was fought on the frontier.

In 1756 fighting between Britain and France spread to Europe and became known as the Seven Years’ War. Britain’s allies fought the French in Europe. Britain’s prime minister sent most of Britain’s forces to North America and India to fight the French. The turning point of the war in North America occurred with a British victory at Quebec. The Treaty of Paris finally ended the war in 1763, and for the most part eliminated French power in North America

Why did the British want its colonies to form an alliance with the Iroquois?

The Iroquois controlled western New York, which was the territory the French would need to pass through to reach the Ohio River.

The British victory caused an enormous British debt. Britain looked to its colonies to help pay for the war. In the spring of 1763, Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa people, united several Native American groups, including the Ottawa, Delaware, Shawnee, and Seneca peoples, to go to war against the British. They attacked forts and towns along the frontier.

The British government did not want to pay for another war, so it issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that limited western settlement. Colonists were not allowed to settle in certain areas without the government’s permission. The proclamation angered many farmers and land speculators.

George Grenville-the British prime minister and first lord of the Treasury, implemented new tax policies in the colonies to help Merchants smuggled goods in and out of America to avoid customs duties, or taxes paid on imports and exports. Grenville convinced Parliament to pass a law that sent smugglers to a new vice-admiralty court in Nova Scotia run by naval officers who were unsympathetic to smugglers.

Grenville also introduced the Sugar Act in the colonies. This act changed tax rates for raw sugar and molasses imported from foreign colonies. It placed new taxes on silk, wine, coffee, pimento, and indigo. Colonists argued that they were being taxed without representation in Parliament. To slow inflation—a general rise in the prices of most goods and services because money has lost its value— Parliament passed the Currency Act of This banned the use of paper money in the colonies, angering colonial farmers and artisans who used paper money to pay back loans.

What policies did the British government adopt to help pay its debts from the French and Indian War?

George Grenville, the British prime minister and first lord of the Treasury, implemented new tax policies in the colonies to pay for the French and Indian War. One law sent smugglers to a new vice-admiralty court run by naval officers who were unsympathetic to smugglers. The Sugar Act in the colonies changed tax rates for raw sugar and molasses imported from foreign colonies. It placed new taxes on silk, wine, coffee, pimento, and indigo. To slow inflation, Parliament passed the Currency Act of This banned the use of paper money in the colonies, angering colonial farmers and artisans who used paper money to pay back loans.

A. To raise more money to pay for the war, Parliament passed the Stamp Act in Stamps were required on most printed materials. The stamp tax was the first direct tax Britain had ever placed on the colonists. The Quartering Act, passed by Parliament in 1765, forced the colonists to pay more for their own defense by providing places to stay for British troops in the colonies. By the summer of 1765, mass meetings and demonstrations against the stamp tax took place in the colonies. When the Stamp Act took effect, the colonists ignored it. A movement began to boycott British goods. Colonial merchants signed a nonimportation agreement, agreeing not to buy any British goods until the Stamp Act was repealed. The protests led to the Stamp Act being repealed in Parliament, in an effort to assert its control over the colonies, passed the Declaratory Act, which gave them the power to make laws for the colonies.

What acts did Parliament pass to raise money to pay for the government’s expenses in America?

(To raise more money to pay for the war, Parliament passed the Stamp Act in Stamps were required on most printed materials. The Quartering Act, passed by Parliament in 1765, forced the colonists to pay more for their own defense by providing places to stay for British troops in the colonies.)

In 1767 British finance minister Charles Townshend introduced a new set of regulations and taxes known as the Townshend Acts. One of these acts, the Revenue Act of 1767, placed new customs duties on glass, lead, paper, paint, and tea imported into the colonies. The Revenue Act legalized the use of general search warrants called writs of assistance. The Townshend Acts gave British officials the right to seize property without following due process. John Dickinson published a series of essays called Letters from a Pennsylvania Farmer, which stressed that only assemblies elected by colonists had the right to tax them. Dickinson called on colonists to resist the Townshend Acts. Virginia’s House of Burgesses passed the Virginia Resolves, stating that only the House had the right to tax Virginians. Britain ordered that the House of Burgesses be dissolved. Leaders of the House of Burgesses called a convention and passed a nonimportation law blocking the sale of British goods in Virginia. The Sons of Liberty encouraged colonists to support the boycott of British goods. In 1769 colonial imports from Britain declined sharply from what they had been the year before. On March 5, 1770, British troops fired into a crowd of colonists in Boston. A man of African and Native American descent was the first colonist to die in what became known as the Boston Massacre. The British were viewed as tyrants who were killing people standing up for their rights. In response, Britain repealed the Townshend Acts, leaving only one tax—on tea—to uphold its right to tax the colonies.

How did colonists react to the Townshend Acts?

(The Townshend Acts angered colonists. John Dickinson published a series of essays called Letters from a Pennsylvania Farmer, which stressed that only assemblies elected by colonists had the right to tax them. Dickinson called on colonists to resist the Townshend Acts. The Massachusetts assembly began organizing resistance against Britain. Merchants signed nonimportation agreements promising not to import any goods from Britain. Virginia’s House of Burgesses passed the Virginia Resolves, stating that only the House had the right to tax Virginians. Leaders of the House of Burgesses called a convention and passed a nonimportation law blocking the sale of British goods in Virginia. Americans stopped drinking British tea. The Daughters of Liberty began spinning their own cloth instead of buying from Britain. The Sons of Liberty encouraged colonists to support the boycott of British goods.)
