    Treaty of Paris and Its Aftermath

    • Treaty of Paris in 1763 granted Canada and all of France’s claims east of the Mississippi River to Britain, except for New Orleans
    • British subjects were given free rights of navigation on the Mississippi
    • Britain gained control of the Atlantic Seaboard from Newfoundland to the Mississippi Delta
    • France retained a foothold in Newfoundland for fishing and kept its rights to cod in the Grand Banks
    • The loss of Canada did not significantly harm France economically, as the sugar islands in the West Indies were more profitable
    • The French and Indian War led to tensions between Britain and its colonies, as the colonies were burdened with taxes to pay off Britain’s national debt
    • Disputes over the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, previously fought over during the war, led to conflicts between British traders and Native Americans
    • Pontiac’s Rebellion (1763-1764) involved attacks against British forts and settlements in the Ohio River Valley and along the Great Lakes
    • The Proclamation of 1763 consolidated French settlements into the colony of Quebec and divided Florida into two separate colonies
    • The proclamation prohibited the colonies from further issuing any land grants and restricted expansion to the west, alienating the British colonists
    • The French and Indian War initially benefited the thirteen colonies, but its aftermath, including taxes, conflicts with Native Americans, and land restrictions, fueled an increasing "American" identity
    • The consequences of the French and Indian War drove a wedge between Britain and its colonies, leading to their growing apart from the mother country
