The French and Indian War had an almost innumerable number of effects on the political, economic, and ideological relations between Great Britain and the American colonies. The war touched the entire and diverse American population; from Native Americans to soldiers. Some were cheered by the reinvigorated ties with England, while others were infuriated by the economic situation. There is no doubt that the war truly altered and revolutionized the American colonies. As a rule, Native Americans are perhaps the most neglected sector of the colonies' population. This war completely changed their knowledge of their land and its value. “We know that our lands have now become more precious” (Document B). They would no longer be fooled by the deception that had deprived them of the island of Manhattan; they were no longer ignorant about real estate. They opposed immigrants who settled on their lands, pleading with settlers to control these squatters to prevent violence from resulting. “Your people settle on these lands daily…we must insist that you remove them, as you know they have no right to settle” (Document B). As a result, this attitude represented by Native Americans may have influenced how Britain viewed its newly acquired French land. Great Britain did not want settlers to settle the western lands beyond the Mississippi (Document A). The settlers, however, believed that it was their right to settle these lands. But while the Native Americans protested, the English feared further violence from them. For this reason they did not willingly allow settlers to settle in the West and because it would have required a tremendous effort to organize the territory politically. For the most part, soldiers were treated very differently after the war. Britain emerged from 1763 with low opinions and expectations of the colonial army. This resulted in the soldiers being “[denied] freedom by the English” (Document D). From this it can be deduced that the British officers had no respect for the colonials, denying them items such as clothing and liquor. Even after their terms expired, they “still were not allowed to return home,” ultimately forcing them to “[swear] that we would no longer perform our duty here” (Document D). This could perhaps explain why the British were confident they would succeed in the Revolutionary War, as they clearly didn't think much of the American Army, or lack thereof..
