Fortress of Louisburg After the treaty was signed the French wanted to make sure they were defended from attacks further inland The fortress of Louisburg was built to prevent the British from attacking by ship down the St. Lawrence

Fortress of Louisburg The French's new fortress was poorly built It took over 20 years to build and the massive walls could easily be destroyed by the British's modern canons the fortress was also built in the wrong spot. It was not built on a hill but surrounding hills could easily attack it
