Finding Your Family in the French & Indian Finding Your Family in the French & Indian War Lecture by Leland K Meitzler – Copyright 2013; [email protected] There were actually five wars that were between the British & the French and Indians. The fifth of the wars (1754-1763) is the war typically called the French & Indian War (by the Americans), and is the war that this lecture covers. The Five Wars Were as Follows: Ten Years War (aka King William’s War) 1688-1698. This war followed the revolution in favor of William II, Prince of Orange. It took place during the administrations of Governors Phips and Stoughton. See Dr. Cotton Mather’s history – Decennium Luctuosum – See: http://books.google.com/books?id=pox0AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=cotton+mather+decennium+luctuosum &source=bl&ots=6OQiiXuPtl&sig=O1gEXgxzITr0aJLBVsrUzNRJyJE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=iVIbUfqjPKPWyQHWpYAI&ved=0CE EQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=cotton%20mather%20decennium%20luctuosum&f=false Governor Dudley’s Indian War - 1703-1713. Also see Dr. Cotton Mather’s history – Decennium Luctuosum above) Governor Dummer’s Indian War - 1722-1725. This war took place during the term of Lieutenant-Governor Dummer’s chief magistracy of Massachusetts. Governor Shirley’s War (aka Five Years French and Indian War) - 1744-1749 – this war was declared by the King of France on March 15 1744, and ran through the Treaty with the Eastern Indians on October 16, 1749. See: A Particular History of the Five Years French and Indian War in New England and Parts Adjacent... by Samuel G. Drake. French and Indian War (aka Anglo-French Rivalry {by Canadians}; La guerre de la Conquête ("The War of Conquest" by the French-Canadians) 1754-1763. By 1756 the war escalated into a worldwide affair called the Seven Years’ War. Casualties – Although anywhere close to exact numbers don’t exist, it’s thought that the British Colonists had about 2000 casualties, while the French and American Indians had about 3000. A Timeline of the French and Indian War 1753 - French troops from Canada marched south. They seized and fortified the Ohio Valley. Britain protested the move and claimed Ohio for itself. 1754 – May 28 - Ensign de Jumonville and a third of his escort were killed by a British patrol in a surprise attack led by George Washington. They pulled back to Great Meadows and built Fort Necessity. In retaliation for the British attack, the French and the Indians marched on Fort Necessity, defeating the British on July 3. George Washington surrendered after losing one-third of his force. Blamed for the defeat, Washington resigned. He later returned as a volunteer under British authority. 1755 - The British implemented a plan to defeat the French, seizing Arcadia (Nova Scotia). Moncton successfully captured Fort Beausejour. On July 9, Major General Edward Braddock’s troops were defeated in the Battle of the Wilderness near the French Fort Duquesne (Now Pittsburgh), and on September 9, William Johnson’s troops defeated the French advance at the Battle of Lake George. 1756 – On May 8/9, the Seven Years' War began as Great Britain declared war on France, and France responds in kind, expanding the North American conflict to Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. On August 14, the French captured Fort Oswego on the banks of the Great Lakes. 1757 - The French, led by the commander-in-chief, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, captured Fort William Henry. Following the surrender, Montcalm’s actions angered his Indian allies who captured or killed hundreds of unarmed British (See James Fennimore Cooper’s “The Last of the Mohicans”) 1758 – On July 8, the French captured Fort Ticonderoga. On July 26, the British seized Louisburg, opening a route to Canada. On August 27, The French surrendered Fort Frontenac, causing the French to lose communication with their troops in the Ohio Valley. On October 21, the Treaty of Easton was signed with the Iroquois, Shawnee, and Delaware Indians. On November 26, the British took control of the Forks of the Ohio by capturing Fort Duquesne, renaming it Pittsburgh. 1759 – The British took the French Island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean on May 1. On July 26, the British took Fort Ticonderoga, and on July 25, the British took Fort Niagara, with the French abandoning Crown Point. On September 13, the French surrendered Quebec after a battle outside the city on the Plains of Abraham. British and French commanding Generals, Montcalm and Wolfe both died in Battle. 1760 – On May 16, the French siege of Quebec effectively failed, and on September 8, the British captured Montreal. On about September 15, the British raised their flag over Detroit, ending the conflict in North America. 1761 – The British made peace with the Cherokee Indians. 1762 – On September 18, the French failed in an attempt to retake Newfoundland 1763 – On February 10, the Treaty of Paris ends the war between Britain and France. All French possessions east of the Mississippi, except New Orleans, were handed over to the British while the French possessions west of the Mississippi were given to the Spanish. France regained Martinique, Guadeloupe and St. Lucia. 1763 – On April 27, Ottawa Chief Pontiac united the Ottawas, Potawatomies, and Hurons in an effort to drive British off their land by attacking Detroit. On May 9, Pontiac’s American Indians lay siege to Detroit. The allied Indians destroyed forts at Vanago, LeBouf, and Presque Isle. In July, men stationed at Fort Pitt infected the Indians with blankets from the smallpox hospital. The Indians retreated when they realized they were now faced with a smallpox epidemic. On August 5 and 6, in western Pennsylvania, Colonel Henry Bouquet led the British army and defeated the Native American forces of Delaware, Shawnee, Mingo, and Huron warriors at Bushy Run. Though the British suffered serious losses, they routed the Indians and relieved the garrison at Fort Pitt. On October 7, King George III signed the Proclamation of 1763, reserving the land west of the Allegheny Mountains for the Indians, directly leading to the Revolutionary War. On October 31, Pontiac surrendered at Detroit, ending any Indian control of the Ohio country.

  • Stephen Oetken Power Point Script: “The Warpath Of
    Stephen Oetken Slide 1: TITLE SLIDE (INTRODUCTION) Good evening, thank you for coming. Walking along the misty shores and white pines of Lake George, New York, surrounded by the splendor of the Adirondack Mountains, it is hard to imagine that 250 years ago this area was the scene of a brutal struggle for control of an empire between the French, the English, and the Iroquois Confederacy known as the French and Indian War. In an era when waterways were the modern equivalency of super highways, the Lake George – Hudson River corridor became vital to this war effort. A fourteen-mile overland route called the Military Road was cut through the wilderness in 1755, linking British fortifications on Lake George and the Hudson River. Sites along the Military Road played significant roles in two campaigns during the war. Despite the historical importance of these sites, few people visit them, or even know that they exist. The original trace of the Military Road has vanished from the landscape, and metal wayside markers modestly signify the presence of historic sites. This project examines the preservation and interpretation of French and Indian War sites along the Military Road, concluding with a recommendation for a Military Road Trail that would facilitate a better visitor experience in Lake George, New York.

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

    Events leading up to the American Revolution The French and Indian War (1754-63) War fought between Great Britain and its two enemies, the French and the Indians of North America. Most of the battles were in Canada. American colonists, including George Washington, fought with the British in this war, which lasted from 1754 to 1763. The British won the war and won the right to keep Canada and several other possessions in the New World. The Sugar Act (4/5/1764) 1764 Act that put a three-cent tax on foreign refined sugar and increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and certain kinds of wine. It banned importation of rum and French wines. These taxes affected only a certain part of the population, but the affected merchants were very vocal. Besides, the taxes were enacted (or raised) without the consent of the colonists. This was one of the first instances in which colonists wanted a say in how much they were taxed The Stamp Act (3/22/1765) First direct British tax on American colonists. Instituted in November, 1765. Every newspaper, pamphlet, and other public and legal document had to have a Stamp, or British seal, on it. The Stamp, of course, cost money. The colonists didn't think they should have to pay for something they had been doing for free for many years, and they responded in force, with demonstrations and even with a diplomatic body called the Stamp Act Congress, which delivered its answer to the Crown. Seeing the hostile reaction in the colonies, the British government repealed the Stamp Act in March 1766 but at the same time passed the Declaratory Act, which said that Great Britain was superior (and boss of) the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever." The Stamp Act gave the colonists a target for their rage.

In 1825, Congress ratified a treaty with the Shawnees living at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, due to encroaching colonial settlement. Shawnees ceding their Missouri lands for a 1.6 million-acre reservation in eastern Kansas. However, several years before this treaty was introduced, a group of Shawnees left Missouri to begin a journey south that led them into the territory of what is now the state of Texas, under the control of Spain.
