By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and
the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory
east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus
came
to
an
end;
England
now
controlled
most
of
North
America.
But
the
war
had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George
鈪?/p>
, king of
England, after consulting with his advisers, decided that the American
colonists (

) should help pay some of the expenses of this war. A
standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies (

)
for
protection
against
the
Indians.
The
English
government
also
felt
that
the
colonists
should
share
in
the
expenses
of
maintaining
this
army.
The result was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by
Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these
measures
were
accepted
by
the
colonists,
but
one
in
particular,
the
Stamp
Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps,
ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all
newspapers,
advertisements,
bills
of
sale,
wills,
legal
papers,
etc.
The
Stamp A ct was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected
everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would
surely ruin their businesses.
Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater
effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia

Patrick Henry. Henry
had
only
recently
been
elected
to
the
Virginia
Assembly.
Yet
when
the
Stamp
Act
came
up
for
discussion,
he
opposed
it
almost
single-handedly.
He
also
expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many
Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly.
"Is
life
so
dear
or
peace
so
sweet,
as
to
be
bought
at
the
price
of
chains
and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty (

) God! I know not what course
others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
From the text we learn that______.
A Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763.
B there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in
1763
