Treaty of Paris

The Quebec Act

Pontiac's Resistance

1783:

The Treaty of Paris officially put an end to the American War of Independence. Most of this Treaty of Paris reflected the goals of American negotiators.

1774:

The Quebec Act revoked the Royal Reclamation and enlarged Quebec's territory to include the Ohio Valley. The act also guaranteed french language rights and made provisions to allow Roman Catholic's to take some roles in the colony's governance. To this day, this legal bind still exists in the province.

1762:

Pontiac was an Odawa First Nation war chief who saw himself suffering under british rule and decided to do something about it. Under Pontiac's leadership, the First Nations quickly took over nine of twelve British forts. By late 1766 Pontiac agreed to give back the forts to the British but in return he insisted that the First Nations hunting grounds had to be protected.

The Thirteen Colonies had always been separate entities until their anger against Britain caused them to unite. In 1774, twelve on the Thirteen Colonies met at the First Continental Congress. The twelve colonies agreed to boycott British trade until their petition to Britain had been addressed.

Britain issued the "Royal Proclamation of 1763" because Pontiac's Resistance had shown that First Nations were a threat to British control in North America. The Royal Proclamation created a clear boundary between British colonies and lands reserved for First Nations.
