The French and Indian War “You and the French are like two edges of a pair of shears, and we are the cloth that is cut to pieces between them.” – Native American to an English man

France Claims Western Lands French exploring interior of America Late 1600’s – France had claimed the Ohio River Valley, the Mississippi River Valley, and the great lake region. Louisiana (La Salle) stretched from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rocky Mountains.

French Main Settlements Quebec and Montreal Located along the St. Lawrence River New Orleans – Mississippi River *Why are these settlements so important?

French Population 1760 – NEW FRANCE had about 80,000 people (England had over 1 million) *Why is there such a difference in population?

French were mostly fur trappers who traded with the Natives Furs, guns, knives, iron pots, etc.

Native American Alliances *English competed with the French for furs *Native American groups competed to supply Europeans with furs

Native American Alliances *The fur trade created economic and military rivalries and alliances between the Native Americans and the Europeans. These alliances between the Natives and Europeans led to their involvement in the war. Algonquin and Huron sided with the French while the Iroquois became divided

*Conflict in the Ohio River Valley Seeds of war planted by theBritish fur traders moved into the Ohio River Valley in the 1750’s. British land companies were also planning to settle colonists there.

War Begins and Spreads To keep British out of the valley, they destroy a British trading post (Pickawillany) The French then built forts to protect the region linking their Canadian and Louisiana settlements

Virginia Reacts Send major George Washington to ask the French to leave English build a fort close to present day Pittsburg French seize the fort before they were done and name it Fort Duquesne “He told me the Country belogn’d to them, that no English Man had a right to trade upon them Waters; & that he had Orders to make every Person Prisoner that attempted it on the Ohio or the Waters on it.” – G.W.

Fort Necessity Washington was on his way to Fort Duquesne when he heard of its surrender Instead, he built a small fort but was attacked and forced to surrender (July 3, 1754)

Braddock’s Defeat July 9, 1755: Marched on Fort Duquesne with 2 regiments and Washington They were ambushed and destroyed 1000 English men were killed or wounded The English knew it would take more to defeat the French

The British Take Quebec William Pitt – Sec. of State New Philosophy on the war Sent more troops, nations top generals and more money to win the war

*Albany Plan of Union While the fighting was beginning, representatives were trying to get the Iroquois to fight with the colonists (English) *Ben Franklin was trying to get the colonists to join together for defensive purposes Council that could collect taxes, make treaties, raise an army, and make new settlements.

Turning Point Quebec – cliff 300 feet above the St. Lawrence River loaded with cannons and troops For 2 months, the British sailed around looking for a way to capture it – eventually they found an unguarded path up the cliff

Turing Point At night fall 4,000 British snuck up the cliff and waited Surprised the French in the morning Montreal falls within the year *Why do you think Battle of Quebec is a turning point in the war?

Pontiac’s Rebellion *Proclamation of 1763 – forbid colonists to settle west of Appalachian Mountains B/C knew they couldn’t protect them against Natives or French Colonists are not happy about this; feel it is their right to settle the land

*Treaty of Paris* Britain received all land east of the Mississippi Spain received all land west of the Mississippi and New Orleans for its help *Britain got Florida from Spain in exchange for Cuba and the Philippines *Treaty ended the war as well as French power in North America
