Well, the French and Indian war was a battle between the French colonists and the English colonists in the Colonial Era in America. They fought over land in the "backcountry". The French were defeated and the English were free to use the land...EXCEPT the parliament back in England passed the Proclamation of 1763 which said that nobody in the 13 colonies could use the land beyond the Appalachian Mountains (the backcountry). Also, on top of that, the parliament put taxes on certain goods and products to pay off the war. The colonists were angry because they won the land fair and square, couldn't use, and had to pay extra money. This led to the American Revolution.
