text: how did the war between the french and indian...affect the american colonies?? plzz help me!!!!!!! i need it badlyyy... the french and indians were not against each other they were allies of each other. the french and the indians fought the colonists from britain. they fought for more land. this affected american colonies because king george iii had to pay off all the damages of the war and all the british soldiers for helping. king george made the quartering act, navigation act, stamp act, sugar act, and the tea act. these acts taxed all colonists on things they needed like molasses, licenses, and tea. king george did not allow colonists to trade with anyone except from the british. colonists had to provide homes for soldiers.  king george controlled colonists 3000 miles away!!!!
