Effects of F and I War Treaty of Paris
(1763)
War Debt for Britain
Britain gets Canada, all lands to Mississippi except New Orleans
Britain gets Florida from Spain (Spain jumped in at the end)
Issues between colonists and NAs west of App. Mtns.
Because the colonies refused to fight or pay for war here, Britain is in debt
Britain decides to have colonies pay taxes for war debt (people in England paid taxes, colonists did not)
These taxes (Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts) lead to Revolutionary War
