Summary
Britain fought the French and Indian War, from 1754-1763, to protect its American colonies from France. During it, Britain poured money into New England, and New England’s industries grew and supplied Britain’s forces in North America. Britain’s victory over France led to a revolution in the American colonies and creation of the United States of America. Patrick Henry wanted independence from Britain, but did not want Virginia to join the United States because he objected to the constitution. Other Southern colonies almost did not join. Bloody wars and frontier fighting followed and another war with Britain. During it New England helped Britain and threatened to secede. Throughout the period there were massacres by Indians and Americans and continual American expansion into Indian land. By 1815, when the second American war for independence from Britain ended, the new nation had been born in blood.
