FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR
Colonists+British v. French Colonists+Native Americans
- Precursor to the American Revolution
- Each group had native american allies, but in general the french had better
relations with the native americans
- French were primarily traders, so they learned the languages and
intermarried
- British government signs agreements with the natives to set aside land,
which made things difficult because of the different cultural view when it
came to ownership
- And then the British broke the agreements with the natives
Crash course:
a. The war was more about economics
b. Mercantilism was key economic idea and function in the British world at
the time (colonies)
c. 1749 Gov. of VA gave land grant, this caused conflict
d. French thought they had that land under their rule
e. War ended with treaty of Paris
f. The British colonists ignored Proc. 1763 and settled past the App. Mt’s
g. Spanish territories are sparsely populated/largely wilderness
h. Mostly people living along the California coast (missions, and mustard seed
plant “follow the yellow plant” from mission to mission)
→Pontiac's Rebellion
a. Ottawa and Delaware tribes
b. 1763
, →G.Washington
- He was NOT a first son
- Options were military or church for non first sons if they wanted prestige
- He was originally a surveyor but then went into the military
- Proves himself when he went into the Ohio river valley where the French
had been settling and the British government wanted to set up a mil. Base
- Mississippi river was a border (was considered French territory)
- “Fort Necessity”
- Builds the fort in a basin area (not good strategy)
- Also the basin ends up being a flood point
- As he is setting up the first he sends patrols (natives) they capture natives
and potentially a Frenchman, bringing them into the base for interrogation.
- Before the interrogation begins his native allies (enemies w/ french allies)
scalped the scouts.
- The people who died were a peace delegation to welcome the British, sent
by the french
- Way more french bases than British
- French retaliate against Fort Necessity, and it begins raining so gunpowder
is wet
- G. Washington surrenders
- The French give G.W. a document, giving land to French, and apology for
the deaths
- G. W. signs it (he does not speak french, sent to Britain, King sends
General Braddock to go help, sent from England
- G.B. and G.W. go back to the territory
- G.B. only knows english warfare styles and gets killed quickly
- G.W. takes charge and wins the battle
Goodbye France
→After Effects
a. Once the war is over the colonists don't really need the British anymore
because the French do not pose a threat to their land.
b. After all the colonies (who have very stark differences and cannot see
themselves every cooperation) they begin to connect.
c. End result is a sort of cooperation between colonists.
d. It also taught the colonists that the British commanders didn't know the
good battle strategy for American fights.
e. The F+I served as a training ground for the colonists to learn how to
battle.
f. They also learned battle strategy from the Natives (guerilla war)
Further after+Geography
- F+I was creating some problems and the solutions lead to problems for
rev.
- War is expensive, debt.
- Thought Process: British funded the war to protect the colonists and now
we can tax them (tea tax, sugar tax, townshend act… ect)
- Taxes leads to the war
- The British had also won the land but had no interest in defending it
- They don't want to spend money on soldiers to defend colonies from
