Copy of 8-2.1 - The French and Indian War

The French and Indian War resulted in significant territorial changes in North America. England gained control of new French territories east of the Mississippi River. In response to concerns from American Indians, the King of England established a Proclamation Line in 1763 to prevent colonial expansion beyond the Appalachian Mountains. However, the colonists resented this restriction on their westward expansion. The Cherokee War ended with the Cherokee tribe ceding large areas of land in South Carolina to the British colonists.
