This warfare reshaped colonial America, for settlers and the American Indian tribes in between. Sometimes these wars came from Europe, while others began in the colonies. What took shape through these wars led directly to the American Revolution. ------------------------------------------------------------ See pinned comment and its replies for notes, responses, and errata For this lecture my students read these two primary sources: Benjamin Jones to John Jones, 1754, letter: bit.ly/2WAl84y Pontiac Calls for War, 1763: bit.ly/2WBrJeO Here are a few good books on the topic: David La Vere, _The Tuscarora War: Indians, Settlers, and the Fight for the Carolina Colonies_ (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2013), audible. amzn.to/3mnc3sE Daniel Richter, _Facing East from Indian Country: A Native History of Early America_ (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2003). amzn.to/2MVhWJ4 Peter Silver, Our Savage Neighbors: How Indian War Transformed Early America (New York: W.W.

The title French and Indian War in the singular is used in the United States specifically for the warfare of 1754–63, which is mostly coincident with the Seven Years' War. The French and Indian Wars were preceded by the Beaver Wars. chapters 0:00 intro and promo 1:53 Intercolonial conflict 2:55 Map of colonies 4:21 Colonial rivalries 10:31 King George’s War 14:25 Ohio to 7 Years War 20:56 Worldwide 21:26 7 Years War in America 24:26 Aftermath
