French and Indian War 1754

The French and Indian war started out in Virgina when the Indians grew crops to survive

such as tobacco, and corn in Plymouth. After Robert LaSalle's discovery the French went to the Ohio River Valley to make the land French territory. Then the Colonists and French went to war! They were trying to both claim the Ohio River Valley because they thought that it was all about having land. The two sides of the French and Indian war was the French and Indians versus the Colonists and the British. The British and Colonists won the war and forced the French and Indians to give up the Ohio River Valley. By: Autumn Lockhart

1765 Stamp Act

The Stamp Act started in 1765. It put a law on printed objects, for example: newspaper and even playing cards. Also, when a person were to buy a printed object, they had to put a stamp on it to show they paid the tax. When this tax reached the colonies, the colonists were not happy at all. More and more people throughout the colinies said they will not pay the British taxes. By: Ellie Tessin
