How does the French & 

Indian War change the 

relationship between the 

colonies in N.A. & Britain?

 Since the war was in North America; and costed a ton of 

money, the colonist started to be taxed by Britain which 

made them very angry. 

 Ultimately, it help to the revolutionary war. 

The proclamation made the colonist angry, so they did not 

follow the rules, and still moved west. 

 In 1764, Grenville asked Parliament to approve the Sugar 

Act, which put a new tax on molasses. The Sugar Act 

replaced an earlier tax, which had been so high that any 

merchant who paid it would have been driven out of 

business. Often, they bribed tax collectors to look the other 

way. 

They were taxed because of the stamp act; 

they claimed, that there should be no taxation 

without representation in the parliament. 

Colonists insisted that only they or their 

elected representatives had the right to pass 

taxes. 

Because of all the movements; the colonist 

were angry, and rebelled. The rebellion led to 

the Boston massacre, a very bloody rebellion.

How does the Albany Plan of 

Union begin the idea of uniting 

the 13 Colonies under a 

centralized gov.?

The delegates in Albany knew that the colonists 

had to work together to defeat the French. 

Albany of Union - proposal from Benjamin Franklin 

to create one government for all the 13 colonies

They wanted to create a general government for 

the 13 colonies.

This called for a Grand Council made up of 

representatives from each colony.

The council would make laws, raise taxes, 

and set up the defense of the colonies.

The delegates voted to accept the Plan of 

Union.

However, when the plan was submitted to 

the colonial assemblies, not one approved 

it.

None of the colonies wanted to give up any 

of its powers to a central council. 

But, the Albany Plan of Union suggests the 

idea of uniting the colonies.

Since now, the colonies are united under 

one central government and that is what 

the Albany Plan of Union said would 

happen, it shows how the plan of union 

began the idea of uniting the 13 colonies.
