How Long Did the Seven Years' War Last in Indian Country?

1. How was the relationship between the British and American colonists during the war?

-  Though they went back and forth a lot, they still had mutual respect for each other. They handled situations especially when I came down to dealing with the natives. There was an incident where a colony in Pennsylvania wanted to attack natives. The British told them not to but they still did it and went away unpunished. This shows that though there was tension, they still had mutual respect. Though they didn’t like each other, they would rather fight for each other than against each other.


2. Explain the tension between the British and Americans, on one side, and Indians, on the other side. For what reasons were these three groups--the British, the colonists, and Indians--fighting? Why did more Indian tribes side with the French than with the British?
- Between the natives and colonist: the Indians were there before the colonist and the Indians believed that they had full rights to the land. Also the natives saw gift giving as a sign of dominance while the colonist saw it a submission. That led to a lot of miss communication. The French however understood that. The French better communicated with the natives

3. How did Indians, led by Pontiac, justify their "rebellion” against British forces and forts?
- The natives didn’t feel respected by the colonist and thought that they should be punished for that. Also the natives were upset that their land. The land that was handed down from their ancestors was being stolen. This would have been fine if there was a treaty or respect (gifts) but there was none, this enraged the Indians and started the rebellion

4. What were the outcomes of the Seven Years’ War and how was that result important to British colonists and Indians?

-  At the end, the new British leader befriended with the natives and they got on the same page, together they ganged up for the revolutionary war.
