  • Students will continue learning about the French & Indian War. George Washington had previously resigned from the British army due to his mistake. However, thankfully for the the future of America, he didn't stay away long. We will discuss how General Braddock, a British General, was sent over to the colonies to push the French out of the Ohio River Valley. Braddock planned on marching on Fort Duquene to take it back. This time George Washington gives Braddock some good advice and a warning, but Braddock does not listen. What is hide and seek warfare or guerilla warfare? How did the British fight?
