French and Indian War

Quebec is the capital of New France. It is on a cliff, Quebec is said that it is impossible to attack. In September 1759, British General Wolfe spotted it. British took over and won the battle, therefore, the path was very poorly guarded. Nobody was ready for it, not the French anyway. The Treaty of Paris marked of France Paris is now divided between Great Britain and Spain. Pontiac is chief of an Ottawa village near Detroit. British settlers were reguarded as a threat. Franklin tried to bring the colonies together with the Albany Plan. Later on Pontiac gathered with his forces and captured British Forts at Detroit, and British outpost. The Proclamation is good, I think. It's a prevention of fighting. If everyone got along, that would be just wonderful. One day my dad came home and said "Did you hear about the war going on?" We all paniced. Our first instinct would be to pack up and get everything ready for just in case we might have to go to Grandpa Cleedus and Grandma Lucy's house.

Conflitcs Arise

The rivalry between the French and the British was about ownership, mainly. The British and the French both wanted the territory of the Ohio River. I am British too. The Indians did not like us very much because my people wanted to buy their land, but they did not like that to well. George Washington was going to send a message to the French, but they refused it. I do not like the Albany Plan of Union, one ruler is not fair to the rest of us. There is more of us than there is of the ruler, we should not have to follow one individual. I think there will be a war bound to happen because they are always fighting about everything! It is just a silly matter of who owns what. If you ask me, i think they should just split the land right down the middle.

My Culture

In the Great Awakening, we had built new churches. A lot of people attend those churches every Sunday. The Great Awakening inspired us to put more crosses and angels in our house. Mother studied the bible with us every night. The Enlightenment is all about science. I have a great interest in science. It is my favorite of all studies. I like to learn about about the Nature of science. The Glorious Revolution is when the parliament forced James out, and his daughter in. I love it! Our lives are so much better with her. Navigation acts are trades between England and the Colonies. It affected me because we got our goods and traded them for their goods. Some in which, I haven't seen before. I found it quite interesting.

All about me.
