APUSH- Chapter 6

Compared with the English colonies in North America, New France was

• more wealthy and successful
• better able to maintain consistently friendly relations with the Indians
• more heavily populated
• more autocratically governed

The expansion of New France occurred especially

• in the interior mountain areas
• into the Canadian Pacific West
• into areas already occupied by English settlers
• along the paths of North America's interior lakes and rivers

Colonial Americans were unhappy about the peace treaty of 1748 following the War of Jenkins's Ear because

• it refused to acknowledge the great colonial contribution to British victory
• it returned the Louisbourg fortress they had captured back to France
• it created further conflicts with Spain
• they thought the treaty was grossly disproportionate to the war's trivial cause

The original cause of the French and Indian War was

• conflict in Europe between Britain and France
• British removal of the Acadian French settlers from Nova Scotia
• British seizure of Indian lands on the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie
• competition between French and English colonists for land in the Ohio River Valley

The French and Indian War eventually became part of the larger world conflict known as

• the Seven Years' War
• War of Jenkins's Ear
• King George's War
• American Revolution

Benjamin Franklin's attempt to create inter-colonial unity at the Albany Congress resulted in

• a permanent cooperative organization of the colonies
• rejection of the congress's proposal for colonial home rule both by London and by the individual colonies
• a sharp increase in Indian attacks on colonial settlements
• a growing colonial sympathy with France

The British forces suffered crushing early defeats in the French and Indian War under the overall command of

• General Braddock
• General Washington
• General Wolfe
• Admiral Jenkins

The fundamental flaw in British strategy before William Pitt gained control of the London gov't was it

• devoted all its energy to winning navel victories, while ignoring the war on the land
• failed to elicit the full support and cooperation of its Indian allies
• tried to attack numerous French wilderness forts simultaneously, instead of concentrating on the key French fortresses
• refused to give sufficient forces to its best colonial generals, George Washington

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

• British capture of Fort Duquesne
• British victory in the Battle of Quebec
• America capture of the Louisbourg fortress
• British attack on the French West Indies

Among the factors that tended to promote British colonists' inter-colonial unity during the French and Indian War wars

• their religion unity
• their common language and shared wartime experiences
• their ethnic and social harmony
• their desire to seize French land
