Excerpt from Anza's California Expeditions, Vol. 1: An Outpost of Empire
The Seven Years' War gave North America a new map French rule there was ended. England advanced to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River, and the Canadian prairies. Spain found herself in possession of Louisiana, and frowning at England across the Mississippi. Carlos III, Spain's able sovereign, faced grave problems. From the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of California, clear across the continent, stretched a hostile Indian frontier, as long and as difficult as the rhine-danube line which Rome de fended against the Germanic peoples in the early Christian era. English frontiersmen pressed against the Louisiana border. Russians threatened Spanish domination on the Pacific Coast.
