Join or die.    The French and Indian War was a catalyst to the American Revolution because the colonists became one unified force, friction between the UK and the American colonies, and the colonists gained experience in the war. The duel for land started in 1754, between the French and British with their allies the Indians. This feud wasn't just one battle, but a continuation of many, which is why we name it the "Seven-Years War."   The French and Indian war helped unify the colonies. The British army didn't arrive at the start of the war, hence the reason, the colonists needed to band together to fight. The colonists held there own, while the British were on there way. During the war, the battles seemed to get more heated. Instead of backing down, the colonies fought ruthlessly. Learning new tactics, and fighting alongside British regulars gave the colonists a sense of pride. The story wasn't the same for the British officers...  The friction between the UK and the colonies grew after the war ended. With the hype of their victory running through the minds of the British officers, arrogance was common. Instead of receiving credit the colonists were paid with disrespect. With no recognition to any colonial militia commission, the British officers were considered "snobs." While the disagreements continued, the colonists were negotiating with the enemy. Transporting goods to ports which were controlled by the French and Spanish was reason for treason.
