When the French and Indian War ended in 1763, which of the following was one of the primary reasons the colonies were so greatly affected?
  1. It removed the Native American threat from the settlements on the frontier.
  2. It greatly expanded the territory of the colonies east of the Appalachian Mountains.
  3. It removed the French threat against the colonists.
  4. It put a definite end to mercantilism.
Explanation
Answer - C - The end of the French and Indian War in 1763 removed the physical French threat from North America.

Key Takeaway: The Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War in 1763, expelling the French from North America. With the French gone from the American colonies, the colonists did not have to depend upon the British so heavily to aid in their defense.
Expanding the territory of the colonies was something the colonists wanted greatly, but to the west of the Appalachian Mountains-not the east.
