By the late 1500’s the French had already established contact with indigenous people in modern day Canada. Why was establishing a permanent settlement in Quebec important?
The French wanted a permanent place to conduct their profitable fur trade with the Indians.
There was a plan to remove the Indians as soon as possible and Quebec provided a base camp to start that removal.
Quebec was quickly becoming the most significant part of the triangle trade because of the Indian labor.
The Indians would only trade with the French if they established a permanent settlement.
How did the 1763 Treaty of Paris - which ended the French and Indian (Seven Year’s) War – help start the American Revolution?
The treaty led to an increase in British military presence in the colonies, including having colonists quarter soldiers in peacetime.
Since the treaty reduced the French threat, the British wanted to reduce their military presence, but still get the colonies to pay for the war.
Once the treaty was signed, the colonies had more in common with France than with Great Britain.
The treaty gave Great Britain access to more land and they began to completely ignore the original colonies.
“The only representatives of the people of these colonies are persons
chosen therein by themselves; and that no taxes ever have been, or can

The colonists should be opposed to all taxation
