The British government was forced to make such a policy because settlers and traders from English colonies were moving into the upper Ohio valley after the French departed, unsettling Indians leading to objections and the breakup of alliances like that made with the Ottawa Chieftain Pontiac. The policy was imposed by making Indian tribes cede land to white settlers, which was within the boundaries of white settlers, with the hope of preventing the colonists from advancing further.

American Revolution: Competing for the Loyalty of the Colonists The American Revolution had many causes, both economic and social in nature. It had also been brewing for many years, ever since the conclusion of the Seven Years' War with the French, in which the British government closed settlement of the West to the colonists. In doing so, the Crown posted soldiers on the Western frontier to keep Americans out of it,
This is not always the case. Some may be educated and economically well off, within particular fundamentalist sects, but use an idealistic vision of the past to provide a solution to what they see is lacking in the contemporary world. This was true of the Muslim Brotherhood of 1929, which used religion as part of its ideology of colonial resistance -- and is also true of many of the
