325 Words2 Pages

The English colonists between the time period of 1744 and 1748 were involved in clashes with the French known as King George 's War. In the time following King George 's War the affiliation between the English, French, and Iroquois shattered. After King George 's War, the Iroquois handed out trading concessions in the interior to English merchants which caused the French to have some concern. The French had believed that the English were going to use the concessions as a part of their plan to expand into their territories. In response to this, the French began to build fortresses in the Ohio Valley in which the English thought was a hazard to them and planned for military action.

  • Comparing The Political And Political Structure Of The Iroquois Confederacy

    1406 Words  | 6 Pages

    From the founding of the Confederacy in 1459 until today, the Iroquois has stayed true to a lot of their traditions and beliefs, and continue to be proud of their culture. However, as the Iroquois starting globalizing with the world outside of their Confederacy, they have been introduced to concepts that have been implemented into their everyday lives, and have seen both positive and negative consequences that have arisen. Positively, because of globalization, the Iroquois have been able to gain access in free trade with other groups outside their Confederacy, which was a huge impact on their economic structure. They were also able to gain status and recognition as an independent federation to countries such as the United States, England, and France, and were also able to still create private Indian reservations for themselves. There are, however, some negative effects of the Iroquois’ globalization, such as the losing of parts of their roots.

    The name is a bit misleading because it suggests that the ones who were at war were the French against the Indians. This is not the case though, The French were vastly outnumbered compared to the British so they relied on the natives, also enemies of the British, to help them defeat the British.

The French and Indian war nearly doubled the national debt of the British so they decided to raise taxes on the American colonists in an attempt to raise money.

The Iroquois nation ultimately developed into a well-organized cooperative of five different tribes and inhabited the northern mountains from approximately 1300 BC. Eventually large populations of the Iroquois moved south and evolved into what would become the Cherokee nation of the southern Appalachians. By the mid 1500’s, there was random contact with Europeans mostly involving the fur trade. As the Europeans, inhabitants of what were now British colonies, migrated toward less inhabited areas of the continent, it became obvious that an easy route to the frontier was to travel the mountain ranges from north to southwest – from Pennsylvania to the valleys of western North Carolina (Gale).
