The war with the French and their Indian allies is over. Britain and France have signed a peace treaty in Paris making Britain the dominant power in North America. France has lost all of their land on North America, while, Britain has gained Quebec and the Ohio River Valley. The port of New Orleans, however, was given to Spain for being our allies.Although we now hold the Ohio River Valley Britain has forbidden the colonists from settling that area with the Proclamation of 1763. Many colonists are angry because of this proclamation and are ignoring the law. Further aggravation between the colonies and the British is being caused by the military. British regulars feel like the colonist soldiers are not as good and do not deserve to have full rights. The colonist soldiers are very angry by this and it is causing problems between the two groups.
Without the French in North America anymore, we feel free and less threatened. The threat of French intervention of colony business has prevented us from making the best laws and acts for ourselves. Now that that is gone we can live prosperous lives here in the colonies.
