The fundamental flaw in British strategy before William Pitt gained control of the London government was it

tried to attack numerous French wilderness forts simultaneously, instead of concentrating on key forts

devoted all its energy towinning naval victories while ignoring the war on land

failed to elicit the full support and cooperation of its Indian allies

refused to give sufficient forces to its best colonial general, George Washington

The decisive event in the French-British contest for N America was the

British victory in the Battle of Quebec

British capture of Fort Duquesne

American catpure of the Louisbourg fortress

British attack on the French West Indies

Among the factors that tended to promote British colonists' intercolonial unity during the French and Indian War was

their common language and shared wartime experience

their ethnic and social harmony

their desire to seize French land

The French and Indian War weakened interior Indian peoples like the Iroquois and Creeks by

removing their French and Spanish allies from Canada and Florida

establishing new American settlements on their territory

eliminating their most effective leaders

giving control of the Great Lakes to British colonists

Perhaps the most enduring result of France's years of colonial rule in N America was

a permanent French-Canadian minority in Quebec in Canada

continuing warfare into the 19th century between Britain and France over N America

the legal recognition of Roman Catholicism as a minority religion in all the British colonies

support for the French Revolution by Britain's former N American colonists

The British Proclamation of 1763

angered colonists who thought that it deprived them of the fruits of victory

was welcomed by most American colonists

was aimed at further suppressing the French population of Canada

halted American westward settlement for several years

The French and Indian War created conflict between the British and American military because

British officers treated the American colonial militia with contempt

the American soldiers had failed to support the British military effort

the British regulars had carried the brunt of the fighting

Americans opposed the forced resettlement of French Acadians (Cajuns) to Louisiana

The most significant effect on the colonists of the French defeat in N America was

the creation of a strong intercolonial political organization

to reduce the colonies' reliance on Britain for protection and increase their sense of independence

to focus colonial energies on trade

The British theory of mercantilism, by which the colonies were governed, held that

the colonial economy should be carefully controlled to serve the home country's needs

a nation's economy should be entirely shaped by free market forces, without government interference

the colonies should develop by becoming as economically self-sufficient as possible

colonists could develop economic groth by trading with whatever country offered the best profits

The mobilization of non-importation policies against the Stamp Act was politically important because it

aroused revolutionary fervor among many ordinary American men and women

aroused the first French support for the American cause

reinforced the completely nonviolent character of the anti-British movement

helped stimulate the development of colonial manufacturing

One of the ways in which mecantilism harmed the colonial economy was by

inhibiting the development of banking and paper currency in the colonies

prohibiting colonial merchants from owning and operating their own ships

forcing the colonists to fall into debt through the purchase of goods on credit

taxing colonial goods are a higher rate than the same goods produced in England

When British officials decided to enforce the East India Company's tea monopoly and the three-pence tax on tea,

colonists were outraged because they saw it as a trick to undermine their principled resistance to the tax

they were successful in landing the tea everywhere except Boston

colonists were outraged because their favorite beverage would cost more than ever before

the colonists persuaded friendly Indian tribes to dump the tea into Boston harbor

The most intolerable to the Intolerable Acts that the British imposed as punishment for the Boston Tea Party were

closing the port of Boston and the Quartering Act lodging British soldiers in private homes

the laws undermining the Massachusetts colonial charter and restricting town meetings

the law re-asserting Parliament's right to tax the colonies and doubling the tax on tea

the law ending colonial self-governance and imposing martial law on Massachusetts

American colonists especially resented the Townshend Acts because

the revenues from the taxation would go to support British official and judges in America

they strongly disliked the British minister, "Champagne Charley" Townshend, who proposed them

they called for the establishment of the Anglican church throughout the colonies

the taxes were to be imposed directly by the king without an act of Parliament

The passage of the Quebec Act aroused intense American fears because it

extended Catholic jurisdiction and a non-jury judicial system into the English-speaking Ohio country

involved stationing British troops throughout the colonies

seemed likely to stir up ethnic divisions within the thirteen colonies south of Canada

threatened to make Canada the dominant British colony in North America

The event that precipitated the first real shooting between the British army and American colonists was the

British attempt to seize colonial supplies and leaders at Lexington and Concord

British attempt to seize Bunker Hill and the Old North Church

The most important action the First Continental Congress took to protest the Intolerable Acts was

forming the Association to impose a complete boycott of all British goods

organizing a colonial militia to prepare for military resistance

forming Committees of Correspondence to communicate among all the colonies and develop political opposition to British rule

sending petitions to the British Parliament demanding repeal of the laws

One of the advantages the British enjoyed in the impending conflict with the colonies was

the ability to enlist foreign soldiers, Loyalists and Native Americans in their military forces

a determined and politically effective government

a highly motivated and efficiently run military force in America

the concentration of colonial resistance in a few urban centers

One of the advantages the colonists enjoyed in the impending conflict with Britain was

fighting defensively on a large, agriculturally self-sufficient continent

a well-organized and effective political leadership

a strong sense of unity among the various colonies

the fact that nearly all Americans owned their own firearms

In the Revolutionary War, African Americans

fought in both the American patriot and British loyalist military forces

unanimously supported the American patriot cause

were generally neutral between the British and American forces

took the opportunity to stage substantial slave revolts
