How did the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the French and Indian War, affect French colonists in North America?

Question

A.
They became indentured servants for the British.
B.
Most colonists became British or Spanish subjects.
C.
They had to become English speakers.
D.
Most colonists were forced to return to Europe.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Most colonists became British or Spanish subjects.

The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1763, effectively ended the French and Indian War and resulted in France ceding much of its territory in North America to Britain and Spain. As a result, many French colonists in territories ceded to Britain became British subjects, while those in areas ceded to Spain became Spanish subjects.
