In Class we:

*Recieved our chapter 1-5 tests back; and then reviewed them. Asking any questions that you may have had.

*There was a curve to the test so there was a possible of 110 points that could have been earned.
**the multiple choice section was worth 80 pts. and the short answer was worth 20 pts.

*We also watched a short movie/film clip on the French and Indian War.

Notes:

• The British did not have a good relationship with the Indians.
• The Proclamation of 1763 stated that no British settlements West of the Appalachian Mountains. were to be settled on; unless Britain first purchased the land from the indians.
• The Iroqouis Indians were happy with the proclamation because their land wad East of the Appalachian Mountains.
• Once the French leave the area; the British cut back on the gift giving to the Indians.
• As a result, of the tension between the Indians and the French; the Indians attack 13 British posts. 9 in which were had fallen.
• In return(revenge) the Brtish give the Indians blankets as "gifts"
• These blankets had been infested with the smallplx disease.
