THE IMPACTS COMMON TEXT:

By September 1760, the British controlled all of the North American frontier; the war between the two countries was effectively over. The 1763 Treaty of Paris the terms by which France would capitulate. Under the treaty, France was forced to surrender all of her American possessions to the British and the Spanish.

Although the war with the French ended in 1763, the British continued to fight with the Indians over the issue of land claims. "Pontiac's War" flared shortly after the Treaty of Paris was signed, and many of the battlefields—including Detroit, Fort Pitt, and Niagara—were the same. The Indians, however, already exhausted by many years of war, quickly capitulated under the ferocious British retaliation; still, the issue remained a problem for many years to come.

The results of the war effectively ended French political and cultural influence in North America. England gained massive amounts of land and vastly strengthened its hold on the continent. The war, however, also had subtler results. It badly eroded the relationship between England and Native Americans; and, though the war seemed to strengthen England's hold on the colonies, the effects of the French and Indian War played a major role in the worsening relationship between England and its colonies that eventually led into the Revolutionary War.

LIST the IMPACTS of the FIW Below (use bullets for each new idea):
-  resentment towards the colonists among English leaders (colonists are terrible soldiers), they need our help-- many English leaders think that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. 
- the colonists had learned to unite against a common foe. Before the war, the thirteen colonies had found almost no common ground and they coexisted in mutual distrust. Now thay had seen that together they could be a power to be reckoned with
- Royal Proclamation that prohibited settlement west of the line drawn along the crest of the Allegheny mountain
- 10,000 regulars to enforce proclamation (paid for by colonists' taxes). 
- costs
