    APUSH French and Indian War and The End of Salutory Neglect

    Uploaded by

    Peter Dunham
    The French and Indian War led to large war debts for Britain. This caused Britain to gradually end its policy of salutary neglect toward the colonies and impose new taxes to raise revenue, eventually leading to tensions over taxation and representation and the American Revolution. Key events included the Proclamation of 1763, Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and battles of Lexington and Concord.

    French and Indian War - End of Salutary Neglect

    1754-1775

    As a result of debts accrued during to the French


    and Indian War, England gradually ended their
    policy of salutary neglect toward the colonies,
    eventually leading to the American Revolution.
    Background of the War - 1750

    • Population increase
    • Disputed territory
    between colonial
    America, colonial
    France, and Native
    Americans
    • Spill over of
    European conflict
    French POV

    • Trade is everything
    • Trade with the American Indians is the basis of
    France's North American economy, and they
    think British trade and settlements are
    encroaching on this. In order to protect the
    Ohio Valley for trade, the French build forts in
    the valley to try to expel British traders.
    British POV
    • Land is opportunity
    • The British colonies in America are growing
    fast, and to them, land means wealth and
    opportunity. British settlers want to settle the
    Ohio Valley, and seek more farmland in
    addition to lucrative trade with the Indians.
    Indian POV

    • A lifestyle to protect
    • The American Indians had a strong trading
    relationship with the French, and also traded
    with the British. In addition to wanting to
    maintain their way of life in the Ohio Valley,
    the Indians had become dependent on
    European goods like weapons, rum, metal
    tools and cloth, and needed to protect their
    trade relationships.
