Chapter 5 Tindall Outline From Empire to Independence The Power of England The Treaty of Paris in 1763 kicked the French out of North America and made England more powerful. King George III took power in 1760. The Heritage of War Though both the colonies and England celebrated the victory of the Great War, problems were brewing; colonists were starting to develop a sense of nationalism. The brutal acts committed within the British army horrified Americans and further widened the gap between the colonies and England. Lots of new British burdens: debt from the war, managing the Native Americans, what to do with the colonies, and how to keep them from illegally trading. British Politics

Tindall Ch7 Outline Shaping a Federal Union The Confederation Congress within the confederation had very little power to do anything. Was still able to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and created three departments, Foreign Affairs, Finance, and War. Robert Morris, superintendent of Finance created the Bank of North America (1781). Did not really work because of fear of central authority, and Congress was always lacking money. Land in the west all went under the ownership of Congress, and they set rules for how each territory could become a state. The Land ordinance of 1785 planned how land would be distributed and sold. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 put new requirements on achieving statehood.
