Did you know?

[October 31, 1753]Sir,The lands upon the River Ohio, in the western parts of the Colony of Virginia, are so notoriously known to be the property of the Crown of Great Britain that it is a matter of equal concern and surprise to me, to hear that a body of French forces are erecting fortresses and making settlements upon that river, within his Majesty's dominions. The many and repeated complaints I have received of these acts of hostility lay me under the necessity of sending, in the name of the King, my master, the bearer hereof, George Washington, Esq., one of the Adjutants-General of the forces of this dominion, to complain to you of the encroachments thus made, and of the injuries done to the subjects of Great Britain, in violation of the law of nations, and the treaties now subsisting between the two Crowns.-Robert Dinwiddie Virginia GovernorRead and evaluate the primary source, what is Robert Dinwiddie saying in this letter to the French?EQ: What were the causes and effects of the French and Indian War?

Historical dilemma of the day?

How is this guy partially responsible for the Declaration of Independence?Im just a beaver!!!During the late 17th century and early 18th century, the big fashion for European men was the beaver felt hat. The tri cornered style was very popular. After awhile, as you can imagine, the beaver population in Europe sharply declined. Where to find more beavers?

English colonists move West over the Appalachian Mountains into the land already occupied by the French and Native AmericansWhat can you predict happens next???!

1740 British Fur Traders built a fort at Pickawillany in the Ohio River Valley1752 French attacked this fort and drove British out. Then, built several more forts to defend their territory.1753- French build Fort Duquesne where 3 rivers meet and dominate the ORVWhat happened next?

EQ: (You develop)George goes back to Virginia and explains he may have started the warhe did. British officials worried that a war would put a strain on the colonies24 delegates from 7 different colonies organize in a Congress to strategize they decide on two goals:1. Defense: needed a plan. Leaders were Ben Franklin and Gov. of Massachusetts Thomas Hutchinson and they created the Albany Plan of Union. It passes the Congress, but King George says No, he wants the colonies to stay as individuals. Why?2. Allies: they invite members of the Iroquois League to the Congress to ask for help---they say noThe congress was a failure, but was actually a success because it was the first time the colonists realized they could sit down, discuss, and agree. They would meet four more times.

The series of battles that followed are known as the French and Indian War.

The French were winning!Had lots of forts throughout the Great Lakes and Ohio River ValleyStrong alliance with the Native AmericansColonists didnt get much help from Britain.General Braddock tried but suffered 1000 casualties before being killed himself.
