brits
. Slide12

Canadiens
think of these changes?
The Clergy
I am not happy about the
english
coming here and taking over, because they don’t believe in the holy roman catholic church. My fellow catholic clergymen from
france
are no longer able to come to Canada.
We are no longer going to be able to spread the catholic faith. Slide13

“No Taxation without representation.”Slide20
Think of the Thirteen colonies as a teenager ready to leave home!
I’ve had enough of YOU and living under YOUR roof with YOUR rules
I can make my own money and take care of myself!! You just wait and see...
Who is going to take care of you? And protect you? Who is going to give you money and help you make the right decisions?Slide21
France and the French were no longer a threat in New France so they no longer needed
the protection
of the British army.
They has also established their own
trade networks within the colonies
and so didn't rely on Britain to buy their products ( this was against British mercantilism)
How the thirteen colonies saw their connection to BritainSlide22
Britain had spent a lot of money of
the seven years war
and need to
tax the colonies
to make their money back.
The Thirteen Colonies were not happy with the fact they had no say or control of the decision being made. They refused to buy British goods: which is called
boycotting
.
The
B
ritish are not too pleased with this.
How the thirteen colonies saw their connection to BritainSlide23
