The Treaty of Paris
nFrance in 1763 through the Treaty of Paris surrendered Canada and the Mississippi basin to the British.
nThe French inhabitants remained unhappy with British rule, but many American loyalists arrived after the 1776 revolution.
nThe North American colonies had less value to their rulers than did Asian or West Indian possessions.
nThe value of the exports and imports of their small populations was insignificant.
nContinuing settler arrival occurred as Indian populations declined through disease and warfare.
nIndians and Europeans did not form new cultural groups as they did in Latin America; Indians instead moved westward where they developed a culture based on the imported European horse.
