How was the seven year war in British ?
The British had won the seven year war or is know now for the French and Indian war. Throughout the beginning of the 18th century, a series of conflicts between European powers (mostly France and England) led to a time of war lasting 64 years. The latter would have the greatest impact on the coming of the American Revolution. It was truly a world war in which the conflict spilled out from the American colonies to other parts of the world.
Was there Revolution ?
Americans were particularly proud of the fact they had started and fought in a world war with major implications. During the war, some Americans developed resentment towards the attitude of the professional British soldiers with whom they had contact. There had always been a mystique about British soldiers, that the Redcoats were well disciplined and well trained. In the backwoods fighting of the war, many Americans were amazed that the British soldiers did not take cover, noting that the soldiers were expected to stand still in a line and be shot. America, wars would not be fought in a manner the British regulars were used to.
How were the Consequences of the War ?????
The French and Indian or Seven Years War left Britain with pressing financial problems. Victory in the War had given Britain Canada, Spanish Florida and the Native American lands east of the Mississippi. In addition to these lands, the British had twenty-two smaller colonies ruled by Royal Governors in the West Indies and elsewhere. British national debt almost doubled to pay for the war and there still were 10,000 British troops in the colonies. Money was needed to pay for their expense. Britain had to re-think how it was going to govern and pay for its far-flung possessions. The colonists had already contributed both soldiers and materials to the war effort, but the British government felt that now they should also contribute to paying for the cost of continued defense and greater administration of the colonies. Many British leaders felt that there was no other way to pay for these expenses than to tax the colonists. The colonists did not object to contributing to the cost of their defense, but, with the French no longer present, they did not see the need for British troops to remain in the colonies. They maintained (and paid for) colonial militias to defend themselves from Indian attack. They also felt, if they were going to be taxed by Parliament, they should be represented in it.
