Today, we will continue with the documentary on the French and Indian War and then I will assign presentations.

French and Indian War: OUTCOMES
Though
most of the fighting ended on the 8th of September, 1760, the war
officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on February 10,
1763. Although the war itself stemmed from a fairly simple motivation,
its consequences were far- reaching. The French Indian War outcome
decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time
sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution. The Most
Important French Indian War outcome resulted in France’s loss of all its
North American possessions east of the Mississippi, except Saint Pierre
and Miquelon, (two small islands off Newfoundland). France recovered
the Caribbean Islands and Martinique, which were formerly occupied by
British.
Another French Indian War outcome was Britain’s gaining
control of French Canada, a colony containing approximately 65,000
French-speaking, Roman Catholic residents. The war altered the
relationship between Britain and its colonies including economically,
politically, and socially. It put Britain in debt and the Crown decided
to fund repayment with harsh taxes on its colonies. These taxes were not
appreciated by the colonies and contributed greatly to the American
Revolutionary War.
The French Indian War outcome also had lasting
and devastating effects for the Native American tribes of North
America. The British took revenge against Native American nations that
fought on the side of the French by cutting off their supplies and then
forcibly compelling the tribes to obey the rules of the new mother
country. With the French gone, the British government focused its
attention on the Native American tribes that lay along its path. All
these factors played a role to determine the multinational Indian revolt
called "Pontiac’s War" that erupted directly following the French
Indian War outcome. OUTCOMES:
One of the most important
outcomes of the French Indian War for America was that America had, at
the end, men who were armed and who knew how to fight in armies, and men
who were experienced at leading armies. Common citizens learned to
fight with discipline, and many colonists became great leaders of their
years. When the colonists became frustrated with the taxation and levies
placed on them, they already knew how to take up arms and had
experienced men to lead them. There is no denying that if there had
never been a French and Indian War, there might not have been a
Revolutionary War, at least not then. The French Indian War outcome in
conclusion saw Britain emerge firmly entrenched as a world power.
