American- British Relations

The effects of the French and Indian War on American-British relations were that Americans found that fellow colonies were not much different from their own colonists and that unity was not such a horrible task between British and Americans, the war increased the friction that was between the Old and the New world people. The main reason why Americans banded together to drive out the French-inspired Natives (and the French) , was one that they were moving on the outer colonies and killing many and it was only a matter of time until they got to the other colonies, and two the British were not trading with the colonist until they cooperated. The Americans once under British military authority were treated as the scum of the English society and looked down upon. This treatment made many young American men resent British people because they belittled the extreme difficulties that the colonies had to go through to make their homes. The war and the British forced many leaders of the colonies to meet, and when they did they were pleasantly surprised. They discovered that there were few differences between them and other colonists, and that they all were aiming for pretty much the same goals. With the French gone the Americans quickly tried to spread westward only to be stopped by the British. This angered a great deal of people very much, this attitude would persist in the next few decades. The gap between British and the American deepened as a result of the French and Indian War.
