The Indian War : The Battle Of The American War

The American Revolution was fought from 1775-1783, the war happened because of the tension that was building between Great Britain and their thirteen colonies. From 1607 to 1763, Britain gave the thirteen colonies benign and salutary neglect. Even though the colonists lived under the Mercantilist doctrine, they were still allowed to prosper while under Great Britain’s authority. The French and Indian war changed their relationship.Great Britain going to war with France caused them to accumulate a lot of debt. They thought heavily taxing the colonists would help them pay off their debt. The colonists were unaware of the taxing until Great Britain started taxing them on tea, which they drank daily. This caused their taxing plan to backfire. Great Britain 's relationship with the colonies developed into an armed conflict that caused the colonists to declare their independence in 1776. “The first shots heard around the world” of the Revolutionary War were supposedly heard at Lexington and Concord. France entered the American Revolution on the side of the colonists, the French were persuaded by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in 1778. France helped the Continental Army to get the British to surrender at Yorktown in 1781 causing the Americans to win their independence; the fighting didn’t officially end until 1783. Revolutionary War was started and fought over economic, social, and political issues.

The French and Indian wars is the general name for a series of wars and conflicts between Great Britain and France during a period of 75 years. The fought over the possession of North America for territorial expansion in general, and for the rich fur trade around the Hudson Bay region specifically.

The French and Indian War, otherwise known as the 7 Years War, was a conflict between the British and the French and Indians. The British wanted to obtain the Ohio River Valley, area west of the colonies, but the idea was disputed by the French. This was one of the main causes of the war. Indians sided with the French because their relationship seemed more convenient than that with the British. The British, however, sided with Iroquois.

Taking place in the time period of 1754 and 1763, the French and Indian War--also called the Seven Years’ War in Britain--was considered the first “world war” by Winston Churchill because it took place in North America, Europe, West Indies, the Philippines, and Africa. In this war, France teamed up with native tribes in North America while Britain and its colonial forces successfully fought back. The French and Indian War negatively affected the relationship between Britain and its American colonies ideologically by the British treatment of the colonists like second-class citizens resulting in resentment, economically by ending salutary neglect in order to pay its war debts, and politically by issuing the Proclamation of 1763 in order to avoid

The second by Edward Braddock. Braddocks forces were part of a plan for a bigger british attack. Braddocks troops tried to move fast and quick through the moutains to attack Fort Duquesne using the road Washington had built earlier the road was very narrow and about 2,400 men had to fit on this slim passage way. To make space Braddock made a horrible mistake of splitting up his. As the first part of Braddocks splatoon approached the French and ally Indians attacked and Braddock lost about half of his. The rest retreated and the soilders buried the general near Fort Necessity they concealed the grave by marching over it to prevent desecration of the generals

The French and Indian War afflicted the relationship between the British and American colonies in almost every way possible, economically, politically and ideologically. The French and Indian war altered the economic relationship between Britain and its American colonies because it created a war debt and caused Britain to levy taxes on the colonies. Britain also put tax on us Americans along with them and the United States holding off on trade. In 1777 during the French and Indian war the Stamp Act was passed causing higher tax rates adding on to the previous taxes on goods from smuggling and the seizing of the British Soldiers. The British colonists felt threatened and wanted to separate due to the tax.

The rivalry among the British, French, and American Indians for economic and political gain in North America terminated in the French and Indian War, in which Britain defeated France and allied American Indians. The relationship between Britain and the colonies was crucially alternated by the war because after the war ended, Britain was in debt, so they tightened its enforcement of laws on trading and smuggling in the American colonies and it imposed taxes on the colonies to help defray the costs of the war. These actions angered the colonists greatly caused the Colonists take stock of their own identity and question Great Britain's power over them. The French and Indian War, to a great extent, marked a critical point in the relationship between

COL Tallmadge recognized he could not win a battle and called a retreat leaving his brother behind to be captured by the British. He held his military bearing by refusing to mount a crazy and rash rescue operation to free his captured brother, which could have resulted in many more casualties. Instead he helped organize an exchange of prisoners, though sadly, his brother died before that exchange could be take place. COL Tallmadge also exuded resiliency by continuing to lead troops into battle despite some of his early losses in battle. He did not let his loss near Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1777 deter him and he later had triumphs at Lloyd’s Neck, Fort St. George, and Coram on Long Island, New

The French and Indian War was between the French and the British. They were competing for wealth and power in the Americas, as well as in other places throughout the world. In the 1700’s, the British began to move toward the rich and fertile Ohio River Valley, which is located near Appalachian Mountain range. The French had been controlling the trade in this area, and had enjoyed trading with the Native Americans.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Do you hear that? That’s what led to the revolution. Some events that led to the revolution are: The French and Indian War, The Battle of Saratoga and many other events. The American Revolution was between the Americans led by George Washington , and the British led by General Howe and General Cornwallis. The two enemies have been fighting for several of years. There are series of wars that led to the revolution. These series if wars lasted for several of years also. This is were the war begins. The Navigation Act was passed between 1650 and 1696. It limited colonial trade by using the system of merchantalism. It forbade colonist from trading specific items such as sugar and cotton. The colonist reactions were different though. They would end up protesting about the unfair taxes, and requirements they were expected to follow under the act. England responded to these protest by saying it would benefit everyone because there was was a steady market for these goods in England. Not all colonist agreed. Some resorted to smuggling items in and out of the colonies because of the way the British were treating them. Do you know what the French and Indian war was over? The war was between the British and French over the fur trade. The trade smacked the British and the colonist right in the face. Prime Minister, George Grenville, asked parliament to pass higher taxes on the colonies to pay for the war debt and protection. Colonist believed that

On May 25th, American forces began an intense bombardment on Fort George using the guns at Fort Niagara. In the morning of May 27, Colonel Winfield Scott led the first wave of American troops towards the beach and began pushing inland. John Vincent's troops counterattacked by forcing Winfield’s troops to fall back. Although, not for long as Scott’s troops defeated the

For the first weeks of the march, Burgoyne confronted numerous genuine difficulties. Altogether under-prepared, his armed force lacked necessities. On the other hand, the Canadian militias immediately abandoned the army and Burgoyne struggled to organize Britain's Indian allies. In addition, transportation difficulties obstructed the armed force's progress. Despite difficulties, Burgoyne thrived on the war zone. On July 6, his armed force caught Fort Ticonderoga, managing a noteworthy blow to American morale. The next day, Burgoyne accomplished another triumph over the Americans at Hubbardton. By early August, however, Burgoyne's favorable luck ran out. As opposed to the expectations of the British War Office, loyalists did not turn out in strength to bolster St. Leger. Buried in a twenty-one-day attack of Fort Stanwix, St. Leger was compelled to withdraw into Canada. In New York, Howe ruled against meeting Burgoyne at Albany for moving into Pennsylvania to stand up to General George Washington's armed force. Burgoyne did not hear about Howe's decision until it was past the point of no return. Impeded by American endeavors to obstruct roads, Burgoyne's armed force eased back to a creep as it moved toward Saratoga, where 12,000 Americans under General Horatio Gates

Throughout history there has been many wars, some wars were fought for world domination and others were fought for independence. One war that fought for independence was the American Revolution. The American Revolution was fought between the colonists and the English with the French aiding the colonists. There are many causes for the American Revolution some of the causes are the French and Indian War, The Sugar and Stamp Act, The Boston Massacre, The Boston Tea Party, and the Intolerable Acts.

Since the beginning of history, wars have been fought to gain territories, independence, or to fight against those who take away one’s rights. The French and Indian War was fought in North America over the Ohio Valley, however, it is much more than just a war to gain territory. This war opened doors to the colonists who decided that fighting for independence was something they were in need of doing. The French and Indian War was the portion of the Seven Year’s War that was fought in North America between Great Britain and France. Within every war there are winners and losers. There are never two winners in a war. With Great Britain’s anate ability to fight France overseas in the Atlantic Ocean was how they received their win in the French and Indian War. Although, Great Britain won the war while France lost, both of these countries had many positive and negative affects during and after the war.

“Jacob Van Braam and Robert Stobo, both Captains shall be delivered to us as hostages until the arrival our French and Canadians, the two officers who promise us our French in two months and a half at the latest.” While Robert Stobo, a captain in the Virginia militia was a captive in Fort Duquesne, he drew a scale map of the Fort and wrote a letter on the back a letter saying, “When we engaged to serve the country,” then he said, “it was expected we were to do it with our lives. Let them not be disappointed. Consider the good of the expedition without the least regard to us. For my part, I would die ten thousand deaths to have the pleasure of possessing this fort but one day, they are so vain of their success at [Fort Necessity], ‘tis worse than death to hear them.”(Stobo) The letter eventually made it to the English forces. He was later convicted of spying after this paper fell into French hands and later the French cited it as evidence of British aggression towards them in the Ohio Valley. He sentenced to a death in Quebec, but then escaped and re-joined the English forces. (Alberts)
