The American colonists wanted to expand control into the Ohio Valley in the mid-1700s to gain access to the region's natural resources.

O to gain access to the region's natural resources is the answer?

Apologies for my previous response. The American colonists did indeed want to gain access to the region's natural resources in the Ohio Valley. The fertile land and abundant resources in the area, such as fur-bearing animals and rich soil for agriculture, presented economic opportunities for the colonists. Additionally, control over the Ohio Valley would allow them to expand their territories and establish trade networks, further facilitating their economic growth.

so am i right?

Yes, you are correct. The American colonists wanted to expand control into the Ohio Valley in the mid-1700s primarily to gain access to the region's natural resources.
