A careful examination of events in Colonial Trans-Appalachia the region geographically encompassed by territories west of the Appalachian Mountain Range and east of the Mississippi River at the time of the French and Indian War facilitates analysis of regime formation amongst Amerindian and European Colonists. This thesis examines the effects of contact on Amerindian and European polities in a form that seeks relevance to contemporary issues. It draws on historical timelines that immediately pre and post-date the French and Indian War. It argues how distinctive decision making structures used by Amerindian and European societies provide preliminary models for understanding how their respective forms of sociopolitical organization conditioned political relationships.
