French and Indian War Impact on America

            The British ideals slowly began to drift away from the American colonist’s ideals after the French and Indian War.  The British had only one focus- making money.  All that King George III wanted from the colonies was pure profit to Britain.  The colonies wanted all the freedoms and rights as they had in Britain and it was felt that that wasn’t the best way to make money (OI).  Americans believed in liberty, peace, freedom, love and gratitude (Doc E). They felt like they were supporting enough revenue back to Britain and that they should be given more leeway.  They felt like the oppression of the taxes was killing them and they hoped of one day resurrecting to life again (Doc H).  The British ideals were too profit oriented while the Americans were about freedom and happiness.

            After the British victory in the French and Indian war, the political, economic and ideological relations between Britain and its American colonies was greatly altered.  The economic relationship changed when Britain won all that land and was forced to tax the colonies in order to pay for it.  The political relationship altered when the colonists felt as if their rights as Englishmen were being taken away.  The ideological relations slowly altered because Britain’s goal became money, while the American’s was freedom and equality.  The French and Indian War caused a very big change in the relations of Britain and the American colonies in economic, political and ideological ways.
