Chapter 6 (pg. 112-117) Hey! It’s good ‘ol George Washington!

George Washington Inaugurates War with France

The Ohio Valley became a battleground among the Spanish, British, and French. It was lush, fertile, and very good land. In 1754, the governor of Virginia sent 21 year-old George Washington to the Ohio country as a lieutenant colonel in command of about 150 Virginia minutemen. Encountering some Frenchmen in the forest about 40 miles from Fort Duquesne, the troops opened fire, killing the French leader. Later, the French returned and surrounded Washington’s hastily constructed Fort Necessity, fought “Indian style” (hiding and guerilla fighting), and after a 10-hour siege, made him surrender. He was permitted to march his men away with the full honors of war.

Forts of New France Fort Necessity

Global War and Colonial Disunity The fourth major war between these empires started in America, unlike the first three. The French and Indian War (AKA Seven Years’ War) began with Washington’s battle with the French. It was England and Prussia vs. France, Spain, Austria, and Russia. In Germany (Prussia), Fredrick the Great won his title of “Great” by repelling French, Austrian, and Russian armies, even though he was badly outnumbered. Many Americans sought for the American colonies to unite, for strength lay in numbers.

In 1754, 7 of the 13 colonies met for an inter-colonial congress held in Albany, New York, known simply as The Albany Congress. A month before the congress, Ben Franklin had published his famous “Join or Die” cartoon featuring a snake in pieces, symbolizing the colonies. The immediate purpose was to keep the Iroquois tribes loyal to the British, but Franklin had even bigger ideas. Franklin hoped to unite the colonists in Albany and did make inroads toward that cause, but his plan was ultimately rejected because the individual colonies felt it did not give them enough independence, and they were reluctant to give up their sovereignty or power. Still, it was a first step, and the first real attempt, toward unity.

Braddock’s Blundering and Its Aftermath In the beginning, the British sent haughty 60 year-old General Edward Braddock to lead a bunch of inexperienced soldiers with slow, heavy artillery. In a battle with the French, the British were ambushed routed by French using “Indian-tactics.” In this battle, Washington reportedly had two horses shot from under him and four bullets go through his coat, but never through him. Afterwards, the frontier from Pennsylvania to North Carolina felt the Indian wrath, as scalping occurred everywhere. As the British tried to attack a bunch of strategic wilderness posts, defeat after defeat piled up.

The Routing of Braddock’s Forces

Pitt’s Palms of Victory In this hour of British trouble, William Pitt, the “Great Commoner,” took the lead. In 1757, he became a foremost leader in the London government and later earned the title of “Organizer of Victory” Changes Pitt made… He soft-pedaled assaults on the French West Indies, assaults which sapped British strength, and concentrated on the capture of French Canada (Quebec-Montreal, since they controlled the supply routes to New France). He replaced old, cautious officers with younger, daring officers In 1758, Louisbourg fell once again, and the attack into French Canada was on……..

The Battle of Quebec (1759) 32 year-old James Wolfe, dashing and attentive to detail, commanded the British army that boldly scaled the cliff walls protecting Quebec, met French troops near the Plains of Abraham, and in a battle in which he and French commander Marquis de Montcalm both died, the French were defeated and the city of Quebec surrendered. The 1759 Battle of Quebec ranks as one of the most significant engagements in British and American history, and when Montreal fell in 1760, that was the last time French flags would fly on American soil.

On the Plains of Abraham…..

Death of James Wolfe

In the Peace Treaty at Paris in 1763… France was totally kicked out of North America. This meant the British got Canada and the land all the way to the Mississippi River. The French were allowed to retain several small but valuable sugar islands in the West Indies and two never-to-be-fortified islets in the Gulf of St. Lawrence for fishing stations. France’s final blow came when they gave Louisiana to Spain to compensate for Spain’s losses in the war. Great Britain took its place as the leading naval power in the world, and the dominant power in North America.
