Let’s Recall Map 1 The Americas on the Eve of European Conquest Source: https://sites.google.com/a/alaska.edu/web-world-lit/maps/mesoamerica-maps 1 Map 2 Settlements in the New World, 1650 2 Map 3 Colonial North America Let’s Assess Directions: After analyzing the maps above, write two paragraphs in response to the prompt. Be sure to use evidence from the sources and your knowledge of social studies. Prompt: How had settlement in the Americas changed leading up to 1753? How had the role of Britain and France changed? 3 Let’s Analyze Washington's Map of the Ohio, 1754 In November 1753, Virginia Lieutenant Governor Robert Dinwiddie sent Major George Washington to the upper Ohio Valley to warn the French that their forts in the upper valley were on British territory. By January 1754, Washington returned with a map that the showed the French were well established and prepared to expand their presence.

And from thence they design to the Forks of Monongehele and to Log’s Town, and so to continue down the River building at the most convenient places in order to prevent our Settlements &ca. N.B. A Little below Shanapins Town in the Fork is the place where we are going immediately to Build a Fort as it commands the Ohio and Monongehele. 5 Let’s Check for Comprehension Consider the following questions: 1. What was the value of Washington's journey and map to the British? 2. Why did the French have forts along the Ohio River? 3. Why did the French, British, and Native Americans want control of the “Forks of the Ohio River” (The meeting place between the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers)?

What does this cartoon communicate about the growing tensions between the British and the French? 6. The image shows a snake chopped up into pieces. Based on your knowledge of the colonies, how is this an accurate representation of the colonies in 1754? What does the creator of this image want to happen? What do you already know about the colonies and U.S. History that supports the message shared in this political cartoon? 7. Propaganda is information that is used to promote a particular political cause or point of view. The purpose is to motivate people to adopt the same view. Wars are known for their use of propaganda. How is this political cartoon an example of propaganda from the French and Indian War? 9 Let’s Compare Examples of War Propaganda Consider the following questions: 1. What are the two examples of wartime propaganda meant to do? 2.

British forces were defeated in Pennsylvania, leaving the backwoods of British Territory undefended. 1756 War was officially declared between Great Britain and France. The French captured Fort Oswego on the banks of the Great Lakes. 1757 The French were defeated in attack on Fort William Henry. The French attacked the British at Fort William Henry and the British surrendered the fort to the French. 1758 The British attacked Fort Carillon and were defeated and the British seize Louisbourg, which opened a route to Canada. The French surrendered Fort Frontenac on Lake Ontario, which prevented them from communicating with their troops in the Ohio Valley. The British made peace with the Iroquois, Shawnee, and Delaware Indians. The British recaptured Fort Duquesne and rename it Pittsburg. 1759 The British captured the French Island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. British took Fort Ticonderoga and Fort Niagara. The French abandoned Crown Point, which meant the British controlled the entire western frontier.

  • How England Won North America: William Johnson and the Importance of Indian
    1 How England won North America: William Johnson and the Importance of Indian Allies in the French and Indian War A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts by David Clausen June 2014 © 2014 David Alexander Clausen 2 The eighteenth-century was marred by a number of significant military confrontations between the great European powers of the day. Competing interests were the primary motivator behind the nearly constant fighting that lasted throughout the century. The great powers of Europe battled bitterly for dominance and the fighting spread to their domains across the globe. The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was one of these conflicts. Taking place on four continents and involving a struggle for dominance between the world’s greatest powers, England and France, the Seven Years War was a global conflict that resulted in a drastic shift in the balance of power in Europe and North America. The principle combatants were Great Britain, and Prussia fighting France, Spain, Russia, and Sweden for dominance and assertion of power in both Europe and North America. In the American colonies, where England and France were the belligerents, the conflict took on a different character than it did in Europe. In North America, the fighting was between smaller forces than in Europe and in a wholly unfamiliar terrain, foreign to the heads of state in Europe. Familiarity with the wilderness of North America became important to success, and put the Indian in a central role in determining the course of the war.

  • Wars for Empire - a Short Time Line
    Wars for Empire - a Short Time Line The Wars for Empire were four wars fought in North America from 1689 to 1763. The wars were fought between England and France over control of North America. Both sides had Indian allies as the Indian tribes were not unified in support of either side. 1689 The English colonies in North America extended along the Atlantic Coast. The French colonies were north of the English colonies along the shores of the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. France also had forts in the Mississippi River Valley area. Both countries claimed the lands that bordered on the inland waterways, but the Indians actually controlled the territory. Both the French and the English traded with the Indians. 1689 King William's War began. It came from a struggle that had been going on in Europe called the War of the League of Augsburg. King William's War began when Montreal was raided by some Indians who were allied to the English. 1690 The French and their Indian allies retaliated against New York and the New England colonies. 9 February 1690 The French attacked Schenectady, New York. 1690 The English seized Port Royal. They also launched an unsuccessful attack on Quebec. 27 March 1691 The French attacked Salmon Falls, New Hampshire 1691 The English again attacked Quebec unsuccessfully. 1691 The French recaptured Port Royal. 30 September 1697 King William's War ended when the Treaty of Ryswick was signed. All the land that England and France had lost during the war was given back to each country as part of the treaty.

  • Kittery Telescope Elyse Luray
    Episode 906 Story 2 – Kittery Telescope Elyse Luray: Our next case asks who was the owner of this spyglass, and what can it reveal about Americaʼs naval past. October 13, 1775. Seven months after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the Second Continental Congress establishes a navy to pursue the fight for independence. Outnumbered by the vast British fleet, the coloniesʼ thirteen frigates will have to rely on tactics, technology and tools. But did the real test of colonial Americaʼs nautical strength actually occur thirty years earlier? Now, Kittery Point, Maine native Greg Rivers thinks he has an instrument that may have played a role in one of Americaʼs earliest military conflicts. Greg Rivers: Iʼve always wondered whatʼs been seen through this telescope. Elyse: Iʼm heading to Kittery Point, Maine to meet Greg. Greg: Hereʼs the telescope. Elyse: Okay. Whereʼd you get it? Greg: I got it from my great aunt. I purchased her house back in 1973. And as part of purchasing the house they were selling all of her worldly goods, so I got to go around the house and look and see what was there, and I found this telescope. 1 Elyse: Greg says his aunt had no information about the telescope, but his familyʼs been in Kittery Point for over 350 years, and many of his ancestors were sailors. Who do you think the original owner is? Greg: Well Iʼm sort of hoping that the original owner is William Bray. Elyse: Whoʼs William Bray? Greg: My great-great-great-great grandfather who was the boatswain on the USS Raleigh which was the first frigate to be built by the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War.

  • Reviews of Books the Materials Included in This Volume, and Traced in Detail the Same Line of British Exploration from Virginia
    374 Reviews of Books the materials included in this volume, and traced in detail the same line of British exploration from Virginia. LOUISE PHELPS KELLOGG. Correspondence of William Shirley, Go'vernor of Massachusetts and Military Commander in America, T73I-1760. Edited under the auspices of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America by CHARLES HENRY LINCOLN, Ph.D. In two volumes. (New York: The Macmillan Company. 1912. Pp. xxxiv, 509; xix, 621.) No extended biography or even satisfactory sketch exists of \Villiam Shirley, one of the most popular colonial governors in English America. These two volumes present the first substantial contribution of materials for his life, as well as an unusual amount of source material for the history of the third and fourth intercolonial wars in America. Shirley was born in England, in 1694, the son of a London merchant, but himself became a lawyer. He came to America, in 1731; was surveyor of the king's woods; king's advocate-general for New England, except Connecticut, in 1734; a boundary commissioner for Massachusetts v. Rhode Island, and governor of Massachusetts from 1741 to 1756. After Braddock's defeat, in 1755, Shirley became commander-in-chief of the British forces in North America. In 1759, he was made a lieutenant-general in the British army, and, from 1761 to 1769, was governor of the Bahamas. In 1770, he settled in Roxbury, Massa­ chusetts, where he died the next year. Dr. Lincoln gives a fair estimate of Shirley's 'temperament and abilities. He writes: " Shirley's abilities may have been disproportionate to his ambitions, but in many respects the Massachusetts governor was in advance of his time.

  • Peefatory Note
    1909.] The Sir William Pepperrell Journal. 135 PEEFATORY NOTE. The campaign against Louisbourg of which an account is given in the following Journal was one of the most note- worthy military efforts of the British Colonies in America prior to the outbreak of their war for independence. Par- ticipated in by soldiers from the New England colonies alone, the campaign had been the object of correspondence between Goy. William Shirley of Massachusetts and other provincial governors as far west as Pennsylvania and all America felt a peculiar interest in the outcome of the expedition, because of the fact that no land forces of the Mother Country had a share in the enterprise. The support of the British fleet was considered unessential and the ensuing success became a lesson to the American colonies in that it impressed them with the idea of their power when united. Followed by the military training of the later wars with France in America, the lesson of. the Louis- bourg expedition was never forgotten. The war of 1744, known in America as King George's war, had been declared by France on Mar. 15, but was not proclaimed in Boston until June 2. Meanwhile Canso had been taken on May 13 by a force of 900 men sent out from Louisbourg, and this was followed by an expedition against Annapolis from the same post. The second effort was foiled by the vigilance of Governor Shirley of Massa- chusetts who had reached the conclusion that a forward movement was the best line of defense and was planning the attack upon Cape Breton Island.
