The map
shows the principal stages in the acquisition of Eastern North
America by Great Britain
down to 1763. Hudson Bay and Newfoundland are shown as acquired in
1713, as their possession
was in dispute until that date. For the same reason the greater part
of Acadia and the country
of the Iroquois are shown as acquired in 1763, and not in 1713.
