But lately more and more people are coming in from Europe instead of Latin countries. It could be because of the seven years war that had ended somewhere in the middle of 1760s. Frankly I was too young to remember the war or how it started and ended. But my dad believes that it was because of that war that people are now coming to the U.S. In droves. I may not agree because it obviously was twenty years ago that the war ended. I personally feel this is because of America's independence from the British that is now sending more and more people this way. Secondly seven years war did more damage in Europe than it ever did in the U.S. where it had started two years prior to everywhere else. The economy of Europe faced a major setback when the war started because it mostly involved European states and the entire bloc suffered because of violent military attacks with Russia and France. In the U.S., however the effects of the war were still felt far less than they were in Canada where Quebec was under siege for a long time before it was finally freed from French occupation in 1760. The British economy however suffered a great deal due to this war and the national debt for Britain increased manifold. What America faced in terms of the consequences of war was not anything immediate. It took some years before Scots and Irish began their journey to the U.S. after they saw debilitating economic conditions in their countries due to heavy British debt. My father thinks that Miami is now encountering the "delayed effects" of the war as it has seen an increase in its population. This may actually be true considering the fact that Spain occupied many of the Latin countries and with the war ending, its power over some of the colonies ended or at least became loose enough...
This is when many of them came to the U.S. And most importantly to Miami, Maryland, Philadelphia etc.

These two stories although differing in setting and protagonists, share the same level of pain that are universal regardless of race, gender,

Autobiographical Narrative of Colonial American Life The rise of the colonial era in the 1600s and 1700s was a time of reckoning and awakening for very many of us.
