大一英美国家概况试题.要全英文
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a watershed event in the political development of the colonies.The influence of the main rivals of the British Crown in the colonies and Canada,the French and North American Indians,was significantly reduced.Moreover,the war effort resulted in greater political integration of the colonies,as symbolized by Benjamin Franklin's call for the colonies to "Join or Die".
Following Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America,King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 with the goal of organizing the new North American empire and stabilizing relations with the native Indians.In ensuing years,strains developed in the relations between the colonists and the Crown.The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765,imposing a tax on the colonies to help pay for troops stationed in North America following the British victory in the Seven Years' War.
The British government felt that the colonies were the primary beneficiaries of this military presence,and should pay at least a portion of the expense.The colonists did not share this view.Rather,with the French and Indian threat diminished,the primary outside influence remained that of Britain.A conflict of economic interests increased with the right of the British Parliament to govern the colonies without representation being called into question.
Nathaniel Currier's 1846 depiction of the Boston Tea Party.[22]The Boston Tea Party in 1773 was a direct action by colonists in the town of Boston to protest against the taxes levied by the British government.Parliament responded the next year with the Coercive Acts,which sparked outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies.Colonists convened the First Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance to the Coercive Acts.The Congress called for a b0yc0tt of British trade,published a list of rights and grievances,and petitioned the king for redress of those grievances.
The Congress also called for another meeting if their petition did not halt enforcement of the Coercive Acts.Their appeal to the Crown had no effect,and so the Second Continental Congress was convened in 1775 to organize the defense of the colonies at the onset of the American Revolutionary War.
