  1. Question: The French and indian war was not really a fight between the french and the native americans (or as they call them, indians,) but rather a fight between great britain’s and france’s colonies in north america. Both were seeking to expand their boundaries, but they ended up running into each other, then fighting over land. The french and british pulled the native americans into the fight, the Indians didn't start it and probably didn't have much interest in it, because when/if they won, they wouldn't get anything.

    Challenge question: The French and indian war helped start the revolutionary war by making the british lose money by investing in better military supplies to win the war and get the land. But the person who paid the money, William Pitt, was in debt, so the british taxed the Americans to get that money back, but they didn't like that, so that led to the boston massacre and the boston tea party and Patrick Henry's speech, ect.

  2. The countries that were mostly involved in the French and Indian War were the French, British, and American colonists. I know this because the French wasn't necessarily fighting all the Native Americans because they had some on their side. They were mostly fighting the British with some Native Americans on their side, too. The American colonists were on also Britain's side.

  3. The French war wasn't the French and Indians fighting it was French and Great Britain who was fighting because both countries controlled two different colonies the French controlled Canada while Great Britain controlled the east side. But then both countries wanted to seek more land (or expand more land). So they did and eventually they ran into each other and that's how the French and "Indian" war started.

    Challenge question: After the French and Indian war Great Britain went into debt because they had used a lot of money to buy supplies that were needed in the war because they didn't have a lot of supplies. So then after the war since they were in debt so,they started to tax America because like I said they were in debt and they taxed America for tea etc. And so then America did protests and tried to stop the taxes. They got so mad they started the Revolutionary War which was between America and Great Britain.

  4. The French and Indian war was really between the French and the British because the British and the French were both fighting for one area in North America.

  5. Question: The French and Indian war was actually between the French and British because the British wanted to extend there land west and the French wanted to extend there land south. Then the British and French had a war for the land.

  6. The war was really between the French and Great Britain, but the British and French both got the Native Americans involved in the war.

    Challenge question: The French and Indian war helped start the revolutionary war when William Pitt put in founds to get better military supplies to win the war. But when the war ended the British were in debt, so they started taxing the Americans in order to pay back the money. The Americans didn't appreciate that so they began to protest. And that caused the revolutionary war.

  8. Question 1: The French and Indian war was actually Great Britain and the French but they both got the Native Americans (Indian) involved.

    Question 2: The reason this leaded to the Revolutionary war is because the British were in so much debt that they started taxing Americans which the Americans didn't like so that is what made the revolutionary war.

    The French and Indian War was actually between the French, British, and the colonies. The countries wanted more land for their own countries and then started a war with each other.

  11. Question: The French and Indian war was really The French vs. The British. Both of theses people wanted land in the US that each other could not have at the same time.

    Challenge Question: The French and Indian war helped start the Revolutionary war because William Pitt spent money on the military that they didn't really have, and ended up putting the country in debt. The Britain's way of getting out of debt, was to tax their people and nobody liked that. So then they started protesting and annoying the government, and eventually, war came.

  17. The French and Indian war was really the British and french war. This was because both of them wanted U.S. land, so a war was the consequence

  18. I think they chose the Grizzly bear because it is a very fierce animal. It also is powerful, large, and fast and can run at 35-45 mph. But I think it was a bad choice because there are no wild grizzly bears located in California. I think they should have chose the black or brown bear because they are in California.

  19. You are close, Julia! You are right about who the war was between, but actually the British won. If the French won, we might be speaking French right now instead of English. Oui oui! -Ms. Y

  20. The war was not between the French and Indians it was between the French and British. The war started because they both wanted land and so they had a war to see who would get what they wanted.

  23. The French and Indian war was between France and Britain. They singed a contract that said who wins the war would get all Eastern land.

    The French and the Indian war led to the Revolutionary war because the British taxed American Collins, Americans did not like it. That's what led to the Revolutionary war, that led to the American creation.

  24. The French and Indian war really wasn't really versus the Indians. It was really the French against the British. The countries fought for more land. They were very greedy.

    Challenge Question: The French and Indian war turned into the Revolutionary War because the American colonists were annoyed of getting taxed from the English.

    The french and indian war was actually in between the french and british. It's true because he says it in the video indirectly, but clear enough so you can get the point.

  27. I think they chose the bear for the flag because there was a Spanish word for bear. Also I think it was a good chose to make the bear be on the flag because bears are strong and do the right thing. -CALEB

  29. Question: The war is called the French and Indian War, but which countries/people was it really between? (does not have to be an ACE, but explain your answer):
    -------------------------------------------
    The French and Indian War was actually a war between the French and the British/English. Some Native Americans were involved in it but at the time the French and the British/English thought they were Indians.

    Challenge Question: How do you think the French and Indian War led to/helped start the Revolutionary War? (does not have to be an ACE, but explain your answer)
    -------------------------------------------
    The British were in debt from buying things in the war, so they taxed the colonists. The colonists didn't get a say in the taxes, even though there were protests, town hall meetings, and petitions, so it eventually led to the Revolutionary War.

  31. It may be called the French and Indian war but that fools you, it was actually a fight between the French and the British. And the reason it led to the revolutionary war was because, William Pitt had a huge debt and had to pay it off so he started to tax the Americans, but we didn't like that so that was how the revolutionary war broke out.

  32. The countries involved in the French and Indian War were the French and the British and the Indians. The French won a lot against the British in the wars with each other and took the Indians land away.I know this because the text states, “ the French won a lot against the British in the wars with each other and the French took most of their land to have it for themselves.”
    This means the British needed to step up their gear and training and team up with the Indians if they wanted to beat the French in war.
