The most immediate objective of the Albany Congress was to

• bring to an end the French and Indian War

• convince American colonists to boycott British-made goods

• end hostilities between Native Americans and French settlers in the Ohio Valley

• improve relations with the Iroquois tribes

As a result of the French and Indian War,

• relations between the French and American colonists improved dramatically.

• France was able to hold on to Canada but lost the rest of its North American empire.

• the Americans and British developed a mutual respect for each other's military abilities

• Britain felt it necessary to abandon the practice of salutary neglect

Which factor gave France the greatest advantage over Britain in the competition for territory in North America?

• The large number of French settlers in the interior.

• The good relations France had with American Indians.

• The control the French Navy exercised over Atlantic trade routes

• The steady supply of raw materials from French colonies in the West Indies

This image was intended to promote the Albany Plan of Union. What problem faced by the colonists did the Albany Plan address?

• attacks by hostile Indians and foreign settlers

• lack of citizen participation in state and local militias

• the British quartering their soldiers in private homes

• slow economic growth resulting from inconsistent trade policies

Which statement best explains the British rationale for the Proclamation of 1763?

• Preserving Indian hunting grounds would provide the government with a steady supply of food for its fast-growing colonies

• Halting the westward progress of colonial settlement would reduce further conflict between American Indians and colonists

• Setting aside territory for American Indians to occupy in the interior would make it easier to purchase Indian lands along the Atlantic Coast

• Protecting American Indian leaders from attack would prevent French fur traders from reestablishing their dominance in the Ohio River Valley

The original cause of the French and Indian War was

• a conflict in Europe between Britain and France

• British removal of the “Acadian” French settlers from Nova Scotia

• increasing taxes on goods bought and sold in the colonies

• sponsoring expeditions to locate valuable resources

Which of the following contributed to the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) in North America?
