Synopsis
Colin Calloway finds rich material for his history of the colonial period of America, as he shifts the focus to an earlier time--1763, the date of the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the French and Indian War and which granted Britain a full half a continent east of the Mississippi from Canada to Florida. This soon brought about a dynamic redistribution of people, energies, and interests, as new territories opened up along with new opportunities. For example, the Acadians became Cajuns when they relocated from French Canada to Louisiana. Not all was positive, however, as Europeans clashed with Native Americans, and the treaty also set in motion the conflict-ridden relationship between Britain and the colonies that culminated in the American Revolution. Colin Calloway presents a thrilling account of many groups of people vying for power at a pivotal moment in the history of America.
