Bad relationships between England and the Colonists, Colonial feeling of Independence, and Military Experience during the Frencha and Indian War all played an important role in the American Revolution. The French and Indian War was a war over the Ohio River Valley. The Colonists were on Britains side, fighting against the French.

After the English Government passed the Proclamation Act in 1763, which stated that Colonists could not go past the Appalachian Mountains, the Colonists were angered and felt that the English Government didn't give them any say in the decision of the act. The English Government also passed the Molasses Act, this stated that the Colonists couldn't trade with anyone other than the British.

The Colonists had a growing feeling of Independence because after the war, there were no more real serious threats left in America. There were no more dangerous Indian tribes. There were no more European groups left that would try to harm them. The Colonists felt that they could go anywhere they wanted. They disobeyed the Proclamation Act and went across the Appalachians. They began illegally industrializing America.

While Colonists fought in the French and Indian War, they gained vital Military Experience. They learned how to use guerilla warfare to their advantage. This was useful to the Revolution because the British were not good at fighting against guerilla techniques. Since the Colonists were British, they knew how the British fought. This helped them in the Revolution.

After the French and Indian War, the colonists felt that the British Government had treated them unfairly when the passed the Proclamation Act and Molasses Act. The Colonists had gained a feeling of Independence after the war because there were not any dangerous indian tribes or any Europeans that were dangerous, left in America. The Colonists gained vital military experience in the French and Indian War. Bad relationships between England and the Colonists, Colonial feeling of Independence, and Military Experience during the French and Indian War all played an important role in the American Revolution.
