==Effect of the Battle on Great Britain==
The effect of the battle on Great Britain is it made the British government realize the needed to find a way to integrate the highlands of Scotland and other areas where potential uprisings could occur. This was also a time when the British Empire was expanding through their colonial settlements in North America and elsewhere. Realizing this, the British government began to send prisoners and others associated with the uprisings to the distant colonies as a way to banish potential threats from the homeland. Some of those who had ties to the battle at Culloden became supporters of the American Revolution, and even participated in the battles, but this was not universally true, as others supported the British government. Parliament passed laws, such as the Heritable Jurisdictions Act, which began to curtail the power of the clan chiefs in Scotland.
