part 11......
1770 - 1780
La territoire La-Croix was despised by the French settlers. Most settlers refused to follow such laws and many began settling on the Frontier. On the Appalachian frontier, tensions among natives, recent settlers and colonial authorities underlined a continuiing sense of emergency. The rapidly growing population of Carolina, spurred the migration of people and capitol to the frontier. Expansion also prevoked conflict between frontier settlers and their own colonial governments. France, which was in severe dept after the seven years war, did not want future conflicts with the native population and decided to send soldiers to enforce the territoire La-Croix. In 1773, tensions flared into violence in Louisiana's backcountry when settlers began firing on the French soldiers. The Appalacian Rebbelion was crushed quickly and the French soldiers burned down all settlements in La territoire La-Croix and forced the settlers to leave the lands which were owned by the Natives. This action was widely criticized not only in Carolina but also in France. The royal governor of Carolina viewed this as the correct thing to do and branded the settlers as "savage traitors". This would soon lead to a growing sense of animosity between the people of Carolina and the Governor. meanwhile back in France, Louis XVI ascended to the throne amidst a financial crisis. In an effort to raise money Louis increased taxes, but the upper classes did not pay taxes so the burden ultimatly fell on the poor. across the Atlantic, Louis made laws that made sure that Carolina only traded with France and not the other French colonies in the caribbean. The law was very much opposed by the colonists, however the law was a very idle threat as the colonists continiued to smuggle. The revenues raised by the trade laws did little to ease France's financial crisis. In an effort to prevent the Dutch people in Upper Louisiana ( former New Netherlands) from revolting, the French goverment established another colony, "Nouvelle Hollande". The colony gave the people of Nouvelle Hollande the right to practice their religion freely and to pay less taxes. While the act did ease the tensions in the region, the other colonies had concerns over Nouvelle Hollande and the exessive freedoms that were being granted t oa people who were supposed to have been "conquered People".
