North America in 1750 On the Road to Conflict North America in 1750 On the Road to Conflict

Tensions Rise VA land speculators and London merchants form Ohio Company, claiming 200,000 acres of land in the Ohio Valley... land controlled by the Iroquois.

1754  Albany Congress and Plan of Union Board of Trade (set up by William & Mary) called a meeting to ease tensions with Iroquois/address issues in the Ohio Valley. Albany Plan – proposed by Ben Franklin – stated that each colony would keep it’s own constitution, but that on all other matter (Indians, westward expansion, military issues) they would decide as a united front/continental assembly. British and colonists quickly rejected this idea...Why?

French Response The French were concerned about the Ohio Company/ colonial expansion policy and their relationship with the Indians. Historically the French used the Indians as a way to control British westward expansion.  built a series of forts. Ft. Dusquesne

British French 1754  War Begins VA Gov. (and Ohio Co. shareholder) sends military expedition into Ohio territory. (modern day OH/PA border) Mission was to inform French they didn’t belong here Leader of the expedition-- George Washington--quickly surrounded and sent packing… Hailed as a hero for taking on the sworn enemy of England! Some members of Parliament and Board of Trade called for war (Pitt, Halifax)

Highlights of the French & Indian War June British began to advance into Canada and into French territory—sail from Boston to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early years a disaster for the Brits—Fr. had Indian support & were better organized. July 1755: 2000 British regulars and VA militia ambushed at Duquesne.  GW staggered home w/500 survivors. 1758—Pitt takes control & tables turn. --overall strategist --forced some colonists to fight and/or quarter soldiers

France --> lost her Canadian possessions, most of her empire in India, and claims to lands east of the Mississippi River. Spain --> got all French lands west of the Mississippi River, New Orleans, but lost Florida to England. England --> got all French lands in Canada and west of Appalachians, exclusive rights to Caribbean slave trade, and commercial dominance in India  Treaty of Paris
