Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain and the Illinois Country, 1763-1774 AS a result of the treaty of Paris (i763) which added to the empire immense areas of territory peopled with savages and alien inhabitants, Great Britain was confronted with the momentous problem of readjusting all her colonial relations. At this time the necessity of strengthening the imperial ties between the old colonies and the mother country and of reorganizing the new acquisitions came to the forefront and led the government into a course soon to end in the disruption of the empire. Certainly not the least of the questions demanding solution was the disposi tion of the country lying to the westward of the colonies, including a number of French settlements and a broad belt of Indian nations.
