Chapter 5 Section 1 - Trouble on the Frontier
Summary
Both Great Britain and France wanted control of lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. The rivalry between them grew tense in the 1740s. Although the French had many Native American allies, the Iroquois Confederacy finally sided with the British. The American colonists prepared to defend themselves against the French, but were not willing to approve the Albany Plan of Union and fight together against the French and their Native American allies.
Though the French and Indian War raged through the early 1760s in North America, it was part of a larger, global struggle between the British and French for control of trade. Native Americans easily defeated British troops under General Edward Braddock. British Prime Minister William Pitt helped turn the tide to the colonists’ favor. He decided that Britain would pay for the war – no matter the cost.
The fall of Quebec and Montreal ended the French and Indian War. With the Treaty of Paris, France gave up Canada and other lands to Great Britain. The treaty also left the Native Americans without allies and trading partners.

Animated Geography - French and Indian War
HONORED MADAM: As I doubt not but you have heard of our defeat, and, perhaps, had it represented in a worse light, if possible, than it deserves, I have taken this earliest opportunity to give you some account of the engagement as it happened, within ten miles of the French fort, on Wednesday the 9th instant.
We marched to that place, without any considerable loss, having only now and then a straggler picked up by the French and scouting Indians. When we came there, we were attacked by a party of French and Indians, whose number, I am persuaded, did not exceed three hundred men; while ours consisted of about one thousand three hundred well-armed troops, chiefly regular soldiers, who were struck with such a panic that they behaved with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive. The officers behaved gallantly, in order to encourage their men, for which they suffered greatly, there being near sixty killed and wounded; a large proportion of the number we had.
The Virginia troops showed a good deal of bravery, and were nearly all killed; for I believe, out of three companies that were there, scarcely thirty men are left alive. Captain Peyrouny, and all his officers down to a corporal, were killed. Captain Polson had nearly as hard a fate, for only one of his was left. In short, the dastardly behavior of those they call regulars exposed all others, that were inclined to do their duty, to almost certain death; and, at last, in despite of all the efforts of the officers to the contrary, they ran, as sheep pursued by dogs, and it was impossible to rally them.
The General was wounded, of which he died three days after. Sir Peter Halket was killed in the field, where died many other brave officers. I luckily escaped without a wound, though I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me. Captains Orme and Morris, two of the aids-de-camp, were wounded early in the engagement, which rendered the duty harder upon me, as I was the only person then left to distribute the General's orders, which I was scarcely able to do, as I was not half recovered from a violent illness, that had confined me to my bed and a wagon for above ten days. I am still in a weak and feeble condition, which induces me to halt here two or three days in the hope of recovering a little strength, to enable me to proceed homewards; from whence, I fear, I shall not be able to stir till toward September; so that I shall not have the pleasure of seeing you till then, unless it be in Fairfax... I am, honored Madam, your most dutiful son.

Chapter 4 - Life in Colonial Times
Summary
Government and daily life in England's 13 North American colonies were shaped by European ideas and especially by English traditions. England had a limited monarchy with power shared with a law-making body called Parliament. The English Bill of Rights guaranteed citizens a number of rights. Enlightenment ideas about natural rights and separation of powers also influenced colonists. A religious revival called the "Great Awakening" was yet another force that affected many colonists. Although white colonists enjoyed freedom and opportunity in the 13 colonies, most African Americans were enslaved and had no civil rights.

Chapter 4 Section 1 - Governing the Colonies
Summary
England viewed its North American colonies as an economic resource, and passed Navigation Acts to prevent colonists from trading with other countries. English colonists, however, brought with them a belief in limited and representative government and would come to resent these imposed restrictions. As they grew, the colonies established forms of self-government. They consisted of charter, proprietary, and royal. An American culture began to develop that valued education, religion, family life, scientific curiosity, and a free press.Read your Textbook Online!
