1. (title) The French & Indian War
The colonies became involved in the military & economic rivalry between the French & English
The policy of mercantilism prevented the colonies from training with anyone but their “mother
country”
The British rarely enforced the policies on the colonies, but it’s animosity towards the French led
to wars in Europe (Seven Years War) & North America (French & Indian War)
The French & Indian War got its name because Great Britain was fighting France and their
Indian allies.
The French & Indian War resulted in the French moving into the Ohio River Valley
(title) French & Indian War contributed to the SC Cherokee War
Native frustrations built as more settlers moved to the Upcountry of SC
When French fur traders moved into the area, the English were quick to form a treaty with the
Cherokee
Cherokee thought the treaty was an alliance with the British
British saw the treaty as an acknowledgment of their sovereignty
Their 30 years of peace was broken during the French & Indian War
British failed to protect the Cherokee from the French and Creek allies
(title) The Cherokee War

2. Cherokee Warriors felt cheated by the British after the French & Indian War, so they took white
settler’s horses
The white settlers responded by attacking the Cherokee
The Cherokee in turn retaliated
The Royal Governor tried to control the Cherokee by stopping all trade with them and taking
their peace emissaries as hostages
Cherokee War last about 2 years & cost many Cherokee lives
The war finally ended with a treaty that forced the Cherokee to give up a majority of their land
and created a boundary that divided the colony from the Cherokee territory
(title) British Aftermath
The British won the French & Indian War
Victory resulted in the French losing all possession in North America
Spain lost control of Florida to Great Britain
Events of the war changed the relationship of the colonies with Great Britain
(title) Unhappy Colonist
During the war, Britain enforced their mercantilist policies on the colonist
Sugar Act: to stop illegal trade with France & to raise funds to support war efforts
Smugglers were prosecuted in vice admiralty courts (no jury trials)

3. Colonists recognized British right of Parliament to control trade, BUT, saw the vice admiralty
trials as a violation of the right to a trial by a jury of one’s peers as stated in the Magna Carta and
English Common Law
(title) BIG result of war
Great Britain incurred major debt because of the French & Indian War (Seven Years War)
Britain believed it was the colonist’s responsibility to pay for this debt
Led Parliament to attempt to impose other taxes… which the colonist resisted!
