7th Grade American History

Page 4: Do NOW!

1750

Colonies bursting with citizens Grown from just 50,000 to over a million

colonists in just 100 years Why is this??? Americans had more freedom to run their

own country than any other country in Europe; very attractive selling point

Page 5: Do NOW!

Moving West

As colonies grow, colonists dream of moving west past the Appalachian Mountains

Wanted to move to the Ohio River Valley

Both Britain and France claimed this region

Page 6: Do NOW!

Fighting over land

Land was controlled by French fur traders for the most part

French forts built deep in Ohio River Valley

British continued to build forts deep into territory

What next???

Page 7: Do NOW!

France on the Offensive

France drives British forces out of Ohio River Valley Territory, with the help of the Native Americans

Why did the Native Americans side with the French? The French wanted to trade furs French were less imposing than British

colonies Some French even followed Native American

customs

Page 8: Do NOW!

Fear in Great Britain

British fear that they will lose land they had already claimed, or even worse, lose the colonies all together.

A young 22-year-old Virginian was sent to tell the French they were trespassing and to leave the Ohio River Valley

George Washington

Page 9: Do NOW!

British ignored…

French refuse to leave, ignore the British and George Washington aka GW

Governor of Virginia gives GW 150 troops and orders him to build a fort in French Territory near Pittsburg

French had already built Fort Dusquene on the spot…

Page 10: Do NOW!

1754 – Fort Necessity attacks!

Page 11: Do NOW!

1755 – British Take Action

British sent 1,400 troops led by General Edward Braddock to combat the French

GW volunteered to assist Braddock Warned the general that Britain’s fighting

style would not work in the wilderness Braddock ignored GW, and guess what

happened…?

Page 12: Do NOW!

General Braddock and troops attacked by French and Native Americans firing behind trees

Over 1,000 killed, including Braddock

News of loss reaches Europe, start of Seven Years War
