Niagara at most should be my furthest Post in that quarter . . . By this Means we may keep up a Trade with the most distant Nations, retain their good Opinion, and totally prevent any Jealousy of our intending them any ill. . . . As we increase in Numbers on this Continent, it’s easy and Safe to advance our settlements in Townships, though this I would do only by Cession or by Purchase of the Lands to prevent the Shadow of an Excuse for the Indians to quarrel with us.”

-Source: Colonel William Eyre, as printed in The First Global War: Britain, France, and the Fate of North America, 1756-1775,1764

Explain in at least eight sentences how this quote relates to the Seven Years War and its impact on the American Revolution.

Answer:

William Eyre was part of the British Army throughout the French and Indian Wars, also known as the Seven Years War (1754-1763).

This was a conflict between Great Britain and France due to their desire to expand into frontier regions in North America.

Eyre´s quote is a warning on how to prevent that conflict from becoming damaging to the British dominion.

Explanation:

By the end of the War, by the Treaty of Paris (1763) the French ceded most of its North American lands to the British.

However, this victory caused problems in Great Britain’s American colonies.

The territorial expansion led to conflicts over frontier policies and the imposition of taxes to pay the war’s costs.

Furthermore, the British limitations to the colonist´s western expansion and the inducement of an Indian war provoked anger in the British who lived in the American colonies.

Eventually, that colonial anger led to rebellion and the American Revolution.

Brut [27]

A student recorded the following observations from an experiment. Identify whether each statement is a fact or an opinion.

1) Petunia A is 9.0 cm tall. Fact

In this case, the student could measure the petunia to know the height with a meter. This fact can be supported by looking at the meter.

2) Petunia C is prettier than petunia D. Opinion

In this case, the student says that the petunia C is prettier than petunia D based in his background knowledge, his beliefs and views; everyone can have a different opinion of how a petunia looks like.

3) Petunia B smells bad. Fact

In this case, it is known that petunias are among the type of flowers that smell bad. Their smell is described sometimes as earthy smell

4) The leaves on petunia C have turned yellow. Fact

In this case, it is a direct perception of the color what the student uses to say that the leaves on petunia c have turned yellow.

5) Petunia D has grown 5.0 cm in five days. Fact

In this case, it is easy for the student to get that fact, he only has to use his meter to know how much petunia D has grown. It is an undisputable fact supported again by the meter.

6) Petunia A is too close to the light. Opinion

In this case, it is a personal perception that does not have to be objective; depending on the type of the experiment, it might be bad to have the petunia too close to the light. We can never know because we do not know what type of experiment he is making, and we do not know the measure to keep the petunia away from the light in an exact way. We do not know either on what basis he is supporting that fact of the petunia being too close to the light

7) Petunia B is 2.0 cm taller than petunia C. Fact

Again, the student very easily can have an objective measure using the meter to know the height of petunia B in relation to petunia C.
