The French and Indian War was fought between British and French forces, along with their respective Native American allies, over control of territory in North America between 1754-1763. The war began as a result of ongoing territorial disputes between Britain and France in the Ohio Valley and grew to become a global conflict known as the Seven Years' War.

After failed attempts to capture territory in the North, the British focused their efforts on the South, taking Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. Francis Marion and his militia troops used hit-and-run tactics to score victories against the British in South Carolina. The American victory at the Battle of Cowpens forced British General Cornwallis out of the Carolinas and into Virginia. With help from the French Navy, the Americans and French were able to trap Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown, Virginia, forcing his surrender. This major American victory prompted the British to pursue peace negotiations in Paris, resulting in American independence and established borders being recognized in the Treaty of Paris.Expanding the nation:exploring the West

The United States expanded its territory through several major land purchases and acquisitions in the early 1800s. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the country after Napoleon agreed to sell the Louisiana territory for $15 million due to financial troubles. The US also gained Florida from Spain through the Adams-OnÃs Treaty in 1819 after American settlers moved into the region. However, the expansion westward displaced many Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee, who were forced off their lands along the Trail of Tears in the 1830s in a relocation effort that resulted in many deaths.British North America 1791-1867

Onate led the early Spanish colony of New Mexico but failed to find silver mines, turning instead to the Great Plains and Pacific Coast with no success. As a result, the local Pueblo people suffered Spanish atrocities. In 1607, Onate was removed and the Franciscans took control, converting many Pueblo through 50 missions by 1628 while the colony remained poor. The French first attempted colonies near the Spanish but all failed, leading them to found a colony on the St. Lawrence River in 1541 which was defeated by the harsh climate and natives. Despite this failure, the French found profitable fur and fish trades.Ch. 5 sec. 1 power point
