French The and Indian War 1754-1763 A world war The English went into the headwaters of the Ohio River in Western Pennsylvania. Here is great land. This river flows into the Mississippi which goes to the Gulf. This is the most valuable piece of real estate in North America. France heads to the Ohio River first and start to build forts along the Headwaters. Fort Duquesne o At one point over 1000 soldiers at this fort o Not a heavily settled area in the back woods o The French way of establishing rights to this river Water transportation is the best way to travel...! Roads sucked and trains didn't exist. Water was the fastest and cheapest mean for transportation. England starts to settle much later than France. The governor of Georgia sends a militia with Commander George Washington whom has no military experience up north to establish an English presence. Washington builds a fort at the head waters not far from Fort Duquesne and named it Fort Necessity. For strange reasons, Washington gets involved with a small skirmish with some French soldiers. He attacks the patrol crew. The Half King Very experienced in warfare and was very influential on Washington. He influences Washington to attack the patrol. Washington...was an idiot... The English surround the French fort on high ground. Washington attacks the French after getting out of bed. The French surrendered due to no defense. The French were taken as POW's. Jumonville was the French Commander in charge. He talked to Washington whilst wounded on the ground. Tells Washington he has no reason to attack them. They get a translator to translate a letter and The Half King goes nuts and gets his warriors and kills the remaining French soldiers. Half King splits Jumonvillle's head with a hatchet. Washington was appalled...Holy Shit...Everyone is dead....Washington has not a clue what to do. After this, there was great tension between France and England eventually leading to war. The first three years of the war was disastrous for the English. The English commander Edward Braddock was a very accomplished general in Europe. He had no battle experience in the colonies and sucked at his job. He did not know how to handle the terrain, the Indians or any aspect to gain control. chose Braddock to ignore the Indians asking him openly why they should fight for England. If England dominates North America, where do the Indians fit in the newly owned world? Braddock will not be convinced that the Indians are good warriors because they have such a different battle strategy. Braddock would not heed the colonists that if the Indians weren't with them they were against them, most of them fought for France. The first major effort was to capture Fort Duquesne. It failed, Braddock died. Washington was at the battle and was wounded. He recovered. The English pretty much blow at this point. The French commander was very different from Braddock. Louis Montcalm was everything Braddock was not. He was one of the reasons France was rocking it. He was very popular and led to many victory's against the English. By 1756, it seems that France will win the continent. After 1756, things started turning in the English's favor. William Pitt becomes the new Prime Minister of England. He begins to make some changes in the military and starts to appoint new and younger commanders. They were less experienced but they adapted well to their new environment, they are more versatile to new strategies. England begins to take back their old forts they lost earlier. James Wolfe is one of the new young commanders. He launched an effort to seize the fort. Montcalm pulls back to Quebec. This is the ideal defensive. High cliffs are hard to take over. The English lay siege on Quebec and destroy a lot of the fort. Cannon and rifle fire damage the fort but to not take over it. Wolfe is constantly thinking of how he can take over Quebec. Wolfe surrounds Quebec with thousands of soldiers. Battle at Quebec 1759 fought in Abraham's field which was very wide and open. The French are backed against a river. Montcalm is appalled to how he was surrounded. Both Montcalm and Wolfe were killed in the war for Quebec, victory going to England. French and Indian War had a dramatic impact on the colonies and Mother Country. The colonists realize England will be in debt and financial trouble. This brings on heavy taxes. The people begin to complain so the government moves the taxes onto the colonies. The colonies are pissed.
