If you are french join us if you are English we declare war against you let us have your answer why do you think Pontiac distrusted the English british so much?

Answer 1

The French that came generally were males without families with them. They were interested in trading with the Indians, making a fortune in the fur business. They married Indian women and lived among them. When the Indians did grant them a piece of land to build a trading post, it usually looked like a fort, just like the British ones, but the building of the post was not immediately followed by an influx of families eager to clear the surrounding forest, exclude the Indians, and begin farming.

The British came by whole families. They wanted a piece of land they could call their own, and to exclude all others from using their land, especially the distrusted Indians. Slowly but steadily the British spread, creating a solid covering of farming communities over all the land as they inched inland. Among the British were many land speculators, who were not above forging deeds to large tracts, or engaging in questionable transactions, such as the Pennsylvania "Walking Purchase". The British spread over the land like a cancer. Obviously, if unchecked, the British would push the Indians back until there was nowhere left for the Indians to go.

Pontiac saw this, as Tecumseh would a generation or two later. Neither was able to get the Indians to stop fighting each other long enough to band together and drive the whites back into the sea from whence they came.
