American Indians] should be capable of such a scheme
[plan] for such a union, and be able to execute it in
such a manner as that it has subsisted [lasted] ages . . .
and yet that a like union should be impracticable [not
practical] for ten or a dozen English colonies."

The Frontier
 At first, Colonists set up their settlements along major
rivers and water sources
 The area West of the major settlements was known as The
Frontier
 Backcountry- frontier area between the coastal
settlements and the Appalachian mountains
 Pioneers- First Europeans to settle the frontier

game for hunting

attacks
Conflict in the Ohio River Valley

power in the Ohio River Valley
 British believed they were entitled to French lands in
NA
 Including: Ohio River Valley and Great Lakes region
 Unlike France, GB wanted to build settlements in
the area
 Led to problems between British and American
Indians
 Native Americans resented the British taking over
their land

Proclamation showed their increasing
dissatisfaction with British rule
