What I learned from this unit is that Washington became known during the French and Indian war. George Washington did not take the time to find out what the French wanted before the battle begin and this was his first taste of battle during this battle many French tried to flee but they were quickly stopped by Washington’s Indian allies and later surrendered. The Indian half king killed and scalped the dead and injured witch Washington did not know this caused war to spread around the world. In spring 1752 two years prior to the French and Indian war, the forks of the Ohio causes many problem because both the English and French want to claim it but it is already home to the Indians. Since both are coming the half king realizes he must make some accommodations. Negation takes a week English claim half and French claim the other half leaving the Indians in the middle.

The French want action. The British send an exposition because if French won they would never be allowed to travel eastward. The British picked 22 year old George Washington to lead in the exposition, a 500mile journey just as winter sets in. The following spring the English began to build their trading port but British quickly stop this making the half king furious. Washington on his way back to the port finds out he was too late this is when he decides to confront the British becoming allies with the half king. After the battle Washington finds out he is in charge of the injured British man, who is then killed by the half king because it’s a warning to the French and he knows he will not be blamed for it Washington would be causing the French and Indian war. Braddock’s attempt is now under way with Washington by his side after a week they only went 22miles. Braddock’s arms is ambushed and many of the skeletons remained there for many many years After the French and Indian war the American Revolution began for respect and money to pay for the war. The British turned to the colonies for cash they began to heavily tax British goods such as sugar, causing Americans to rebel because sugar is the main ingredient in rum in 1764 this act was repealed. In 1765 the stamp act was established saying any official paper needed a stamp that you had to pay for this act was also repealed very quickly. Then the Townshend act came to be in 1767 which taxed imports such as paper and tea which was also repealed however British then created the tea act of 1773 the colonist rebelled in December of 1773 by tossing 9,000 pounds of tea overboard into Boston harbor. This angered British very much and they created many laws that colonist referred to as the intolerable act and closed the harbor down for trade, which is what made the battling began. March 5th 1770s angry men began to argue with 8 British soldiers who end up shooting at the colonists known as the Boston Massacre.
