520    In February 1763, Britain, Spain, and France signed the 
       Treaty of Paris, ending the French and Indian War. In this
       one document, more American territory changed hands than 
       in any treaty before or since. As the great historian 
       Francis Parkman wrote, "half a continent...changed hands 
       at the scratch of a pen."As Colin Calloway reveals in this
       superb history, the Treaty set in motion a cascade of 
       unexpected consequences. Indians and Europeans, settlers 
       and frontiersmen, all struggled to adapt to new boundaries,
       new alignments, and new relationships. Britain now 
       possessed a vast American empire stretching from Canada to
       the Florida Keys, yet the crushing costs of maintaining it
       would push its colonies toward rebellion. White settlers, 
       free to pour into the West, clashed as never before with 
       Indian tribes struggling to defend their way of life. In 
       the Northwest, Pontiac's War brought racial conflict to 
       its bitterest level so far. Whole ethnic groups migrated, 
       sometimes across the continent: it was 1763 that saw many 
       exiled settlers from Acadia in French Canada move again to
       Louisiana, where they would become Cajuns. Calloway 
       unfurls this panoramic canvas with vibrant narrative skill,
       peopling his tale with memorable characters such as 
       William Johnson, the Irish baronet who moved between 
       Indian campfires and British barracks; Pontiac, the 
       charismatic Ottawa chieftain whose warriors, for a time, 
       chased the Europeans from Indian country; and James Murray,
       Britain's first governor in Quebec, who fought to protect 
       the religious rights of his French Catholic subjects. Most
       Americans know the significance of the Declaration of 
       Independence or the Emancipation Proclamation, but not the
       Treaty of Paris. Yet 1763 was a year that shaped our 
       history just as decisively as 1776 or 1862. This 
       captivating book shows why.
