Hi,
Your asnwer:
Both by their alliances with the Indians and by the establishment of forts and posts, the French had maintained order in this region.
Paradoxically since the Treaty of Paris signed on February 10, 1763 which puts an end to the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) between France and Great Britain, all of New France, with the exception of Louisiana, ceded to the Spain, officially became a British possession.
However, in order to defeat the French in Canada and Acadia, Great Britain had to borrow huge sums of money to pay for its expensive military operations. The British government then had the idea to have some of these heavy expenses reimbursed by the Thirteen Colonies (the only ones who could pay), thanks to direct taxes on products such as tea, wine, sugar, molasses , newspapers, etc.
On the other hand, the representatives of the Thirteen Colonies no longer saw the value of maintaining this expensive British military apparatus because of the fall of New France.
Two problems would arise and greatly reduce the royal authority (George III). On the one hand, the colonial assemblies held important powers, similar to those in the hands of the English Parliament, for example, to vote taxes and expenses, not to mention to ensure the initiative of the laws. On the other hand, the geographical distance and the obstacle that constituted a vast ocean made more random any attempt of domination over the Thirteen Colonies.
Good bye ;)
