In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 3 Topic 2 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 3 (1754-1800).

This unit begins with the French and Indian War which was part of the much larger global conflict called the Seven Years’ War. The French and Indian War erupted on American soil over disputed claims over territory in the Ohio River Valley. The French had long established trading posts in that area, but with growing British encroachment there, the war began.

Both sides allied with American Indians, but it was the French collaboration with natives that gave the conflict its name. The British sought to ally with the Iroquois Confederacy, but ultimately snubbed them at the Albany Congress.

Speaking of the Albany Congress, Benjamin Franklin used this gathering as an occasion to introduce his Albany Plan of Union which sought to organize a colonial response to western expansion and trade.

Once the war was over, the British were victorious. American colonists then set about moving westward to settle on the lands won in the battle. However, this new migration caused fresh tension with Native Americans who lived on that land, and therefore Parliament enacted the Proclamation Line of 1763 which forbade colonists from migrating past the Appalachian Mountains.

This, combined with the new taxes levied to help pay for the war led to an increasing desire for Britain to consolidate power over the colonies while simultaneously creating resentment in the colonists who found the new taxes burdensome.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
