Introduction
The seven-year war became the most important event in North America in 18c. The battle was vital as it aligned the colonial power worldwide. It also became a global contest between the five continents and the European nations. Britain got a chance to rise to the world’s predominant colonial power, while Prussia challenged Austria and confirmed that it had great powers (Adams, 2019). French lost almost all the land claims to North America. Additionally, the war was critical in that it led to the expansion of the walls of British America, as the British forced them to leave and live in the wilderness.
Discussion
The British also removed the rivals from European nations to open up North America mainly for westward expansion. Britain also gained land in Mississippi, Florida, and Canada. Great Britain and its allies were surrounded by victory and defeated France and its allies (Hoffman, 2019). The colonists recognized freedom, the autonomy of the 13 states, and the war was a watershed moment in the interaction between America and Britain as a result of expansion restrictions and changes in economic policy. The war was declared over in 1763 by a treaty signed in Paris.
During the American Revolution, significant alignments were between the Loyalists and the Patriots. The patriots were on the side of the revolution, while the Loyalties joined the British. In other words, the loyalists and the patriots were against each other. The patriots had varied political views regarding their social positions.
Conclusion
Therefore, since they believed that the revolution would lead to anarchy, the loyalists remained devoted to the British crown (Stark, 2019). They were more interested in finding a peaceful resolution to the problem than in embracing the revolution. All of the American priests, judges, officers of the royal government, and governors were loyalists.
