To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the events that took place at the end of the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War, which lasted from 1754 to 1763, was a conflict between Great Britain and France, with their respective Native American allies, over control of North American territory.
To find the answer, we can eliminate the choices that are not historically accurate based on our understanding of the French and Indian War and its aftermath.
Choice (a) states that approximately one-third of the Native American population in Georgia was killed at the end of the French and Indian War. While casualties did occur during the war, this statement is not directly related to the specific events occurring at the end of the war.
Choice (b) suggests that the colony of Georgia gave up its right to own slaves at the end of the French and Indian War. However, it is important to note that the French and Indian War did not directly impact slavery or slave ownership. Slavery was prevalent in Georgia throughout its colonial and early statehood periods, and the end of the French and Indian War did not bring about any changes in relation to slavery.
Choice (c) claims that the colony of Georgia lost more than half of its land to the French at the end of the French and Indian War. This statement is incorrect. The French and Indian War resulted in France losing control of its North American territories, including Canada and claims to the interior of the continent. Georgia, being a British colony, did not lose any land to the French as a result of this conflict.
Choice (d) states that the Mississippi River became the western boundary of Georgia at the end of the French and Indian War. This choice is historically accurate. The Treaty of Paris in 1763, which marked the end of the French and Indian War, recognized the Mississippi River as the western boundary of British-controlled territory, including Georgia.
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) the Mississippi river became the western boundary of Georgia.
