Answer 1

Pontiac's Rebellion was encouraged by several factors. The factors that contributed to this revolt include:

• A movement among Indigenous people calling for revolt: Pontiac's Rebellion was indeed part of a broader movement among various Indigenous groups who sought to resist British encroachment.

• British colonists moving into Indigenous territory: The influx of British colonists into lands that Indigenous people considered theirs was a significant provocation and a key factor leading to the rebellion.

• British control of former French Territory: After the French and Indian War, the British gained control over former French territories in North America, which alarmed many Indigenous groups who had previously allied with the French.

Therefore, the correct selections are:

• A movement among Indigenous people calling for revolt
• British colonists moving into Indigenous territory
• British control of former French Territory
