A: In this document, it is showing how the French and Indian war, greatly affected the amount of land in North America that was owned by the French. Before the French and Indian War, there was a great amount of French territory in North America. This document was definitely written after the French and Indian war. This was intended to be written by anyone who was interested in the war.
B: The Indians are complaining that the white men are interrupting the Indian hunting and that they shall leave. This was written before the French and Indian war and was intended to be read by the white men so that they would leave the land, leaving the Indians free.
C: General George Washington wants some military power because he wants to be ready for the war. This is intended for the English to read and this was written before the French and Indian war.

G: This in Benjamin Franklin telling Great Brittan how to not continue the stamp act.
H: This is a newspaper in the seventeen hundreds and it is a good demonstration of the Stamp act because there is a spot on the Newspaper in which you must put a stamp.

what you're being asked to do is take the documents, and use the documents to demonstrate how the F/I war changed America's political, economic, and social relationship with Great Britain.
These documents were based on the time of the French and Indian War. The documents are mostly letters from the people living in this time. One document is two maps that show which country owns the land in North America. There are two pictures, one before the French and Indian war and one after. The pictures show that the French owned most of the land in North America before the French and Indian war and then they lost all of it. There is also one document with an envelope in the seventeen hundreds and in the corner it demands a stamp.
The first document is two maps of North America. The map shows what country owns each area of North America. The first map is before the French and Indian war and the second map is after the French and Indian War. The first map shows France owning most of the land. The second map shows Great Brittan owning all of Frances land and France owning nothing. This document resembled how France lost the war and lost all of its land owned in North America.
The letters are from soldiers of the colonies that are asking for weapons and liquor. One is actually Benjamin Franklin complaining about the stamp act. One document is an envelope that has a spot that demands a stamp. One is a letter from the Indians complaining that they want their land to not be trespassed. On letter is from George Washington asking for better weapons for his men. The conclusion is that everyone was asking for something more which made tensions higher during the war.
There were many different things in the seventeen hundreds that caused battles and were important to our history. There was the French and Indian War and all of the events that lead up to the American Revolution. There was a lot of tension in the seventeen hundreds. There were many battles as well as taxes and acts that the British made the colonists follow.
