As Sir Washington was heading back from delivering the message, he saw a point of land at an intersection of Allegheny and the Monongahela form the Ohio, where he thought would be a brilliant idea to build a fort. Dinwiddie agreed to his suggestion therefore building Fort Prince George, but ended with the French coming and taking over changing the name to Fort Duquesne. Washington ended up moving to the Great Meadows where he and his troops decided in building a fort that would be called, Fort Necessity. Three days within encampment, Washington and 40 men went looking for a group of French that were seen about seven miles away from Chestnut Ridge. When finding the French they were made prisoners, killed the commander Joseph Coulon de Villiers, and several others were killed as well, especially since it was a surprise attack they surrendered. George Washington won that encounter but the French weren’t about to give up yet. Not to long after, French troops were sent out from Fort Duquesne and defeated the British which left the French in charge of the west Allegheny Mountains. In 1755, General Edward Braddock came from Britain to America as commander in chief I order to help Britain gain Fort Duquesne back. Again the British had failed, loosing men as well as General Braddock who passed away four days after the

There was this star shaped building that had buildings inside of the star. It was a star so that they could have cannons at each point facing down at the other team. Also the walls were really tall so it made it harder on the other army to get them. There was a main party at the Saw Mills further south. Then there was an advanced party at the southern end of the portage that bypassed the rapids. Uncertain where to contest the British advance Montcalm wanted to build a fortified abattis in front of the fort. On the 5th of July 1758 the British and Americans got ready to sail up to Lake George. Arriving to the north of Lake George, Howe, Rogers and Bradstreet ended up at the French positions.

Despite this incident and a lack of food, Grenville decided to leave Ralph lane and 107 men to set up a colony at the north end of Roanoke Island, promising to return in April 1586 with more men and fresh supplies. The group left on August 17, 1585, and built a small fort on the island. There aren’t pictures of the Roanoke fort, but it was probably similar in structure to the one in Guayanilla Bay.

The Spanish in 1801 signed in secret, a treaty with France to return Louisiana Territory to France. This set off a series of concerns for the Americans. Americans had been moving westward into the Ohio River and Tennessee River valley areas since the 1780’s and the Port of New Orleans was a strategic port of entry as well as the Mississippi River which was needed if the U.S was going to be able to ship good through the Gulf of Mexico.

The trip would bring some 600 men, five ships and two pinnaces to take control of the new land. There would be a minister, military members, smiths, carpenters, cooks, shoe makers, coopers, store masters, and a number of mineral specialists. Ralegh’s first step was to send just a few of his ships and some men over first to set up a beach head. Then he would send some 200 more men to strengthen their positions. Then settlers and more supplies would be next. If the ships were to get separated, they were to meet in Puerto Rico. A massive storm off the coast of Portugal separated the Tiger (which was Grenville’s ship) from the rest of the fleet. While waiting for the other ships, Grenville established relations with the Spanish while also plundering their ships. Grenville eventually got tired of waiting for the other ships. Grenville decided to leave Ralph Lane and 107 men to establish a colony at the north end of Roanoke Island. The group left the ship on August 17, 1585 and built a small fort, believing that Grenville would return in April 1586 with more men and supplies. To this day they have found no information to where the Roanoke fort might have been

France held almost as much territory as the British in North America. New France was organized as small communities holding close links to Indian villages. The major focus of the economy was trade. Merchants of fur learned of connections with Native women as a very valuable resource. They had excellent fur-preparation skills, could translate and connect to Indian

This was where the French built forts to help protect their fur trade, but since there were so many forts it conflicted with the English claims. So the governor of Virginia sent George Washington to try and protest but, was shut down. That’s when the British started building a fort in what is now Pittsburg but, was also taken by the French and was called Fort Duquesne. A year later the governor, Dinwiddie, sends Washington to try and take back the fort but, Washington is overwhelmed by the large number of French and Indians.

The information from several voyages was used adding to that obtained beyond his actual visitations, from the natives. Indeed on an earlier trip that ended at Hochelaga (now Montreal) he knew of Lake Eire and even the Detroit River.

Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, which gave them access to the interior of North America-allowing them to acquire the colony of Louisiana. They initially came looking for fish and furs, then for land. The French were interested in trading with the Native Americans, and overtime the Indians became valued partners in trade. Because of their partnership, interactions between the French and the Native Americans were friendly. France wanted to become and international power.

The French established three colonies in North America during the 1600s and 1700s. Louisiana and Canada were two of the three colonies. The colony of Canada extended from the north east coast where New Foundland was, down to the Great Lakes. Canada had no real settlements, however, they had many posts which served as trading posts and military support. The colony experienced harsh winters and short growing seasons and because of this their farming efforts usually failed and populations never grew. Since they had little to no success in farming, their economy thrived on fur trade with natives. By creating close ties with the natives they were able to trade metal goods for fur and then craft the fur and later profit from it. In the 1660s the

One later accounts of the origins of the famous keelboat carrying Lewis & Clark came directly from a reliable source during an interview with Col. George A. Bayard, son of Col. Stephen Bayard in early 1852. Col. Bayard stated that the early involvement of boat building included the keelboat that was built by John Walker at the boatyard at along the waterfront in Elizabeth Borough and was later used for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Today, Elizabeth has many more mysteries that embody the town with intrigue and is a definite place of interest for anyone who loves history, paranormal activity, beauty, fine dining, dancing in the streets, and that welcoming small town feel that a community like Elizabeth exudes.

The vision was to have a colony on the Mississippi River that was a gateway to open and expand trade with the new world. On May 7, 1718, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and the French Mississippi Company officially founded Nouvelle-Orleans. Bienville would later become governor of the Louisiana colony three different times between the years 1702 and 1743. The city was named after Duke Philippe d'Orléans, who was France's head of state at the time (Briney).

In 1673 French officials heard a rumor that their was an undiscovered great river that ran to the Pacific. Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette were commissioned to explore the area and claim the land as French territory. On May 17, 1673, the two explores headed off. The two traveled in a canoe along Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
