Briefly identify ONE cause of the development depicted in the petition. Briefly describe ONE argument made in the petition. Briefly describe ONE similarity between the British-Native American relations described in the petition and French-Native American relations.

The one cause of development depicted in the petition was the great geography and natural resources that the region to the west of the Appalachian had in store. The favorable climatic conditions of the land, the vast amount of fertile soil, the lavish flow of water in both the Mississippi and the Potomac Rivers, lying just on the other side of the mountain gave the region vast opportunities for development and prospects of prosperity.  The region was rich in natural resources making it a viable region for economic development.
