Friday's Notes..

British colonies begin expanded into parts of Canada including Nova Scotia, also expand into what is now Maine. Virginia being rather aggressive with their fight for land start the Ohio Company and explore the Ohio River Basin. Pittsburg is set up as a outpost in PA. The Indians, the French, and the British all go after where the Monangahila meets the Allegheny and the Ohio River is formed. George Washington builds a fort in Ohio but is thrown out, later he comes back and attacks the Frnech and sets off the 7 year war or the Frnech and Indian War. Red coats have a strict discipline with long terms while the colonial militants had short terms with a sign on for one event mentality, they didn't obey British orders or serve under a British Captain. This created tension between the two groups. The Albany Congress, Ben Franklin(with cartoon) attempts to dipict the need for colonial unity. Britian orders for a intercontinental Congress, Albany, main goals being peace talks with the Indians and an intercontinental Union, by Ben Franlklin. Ben Franklin drafts the Albany Plan and it purpose power the raise soldiers, build forts, levy taxes, regulate trade, power to buy land, and supervise west colonies. This plan is rejected by every colony. Paris Treaty ends 7 year was. Britian gets disputed land, France leaves Mississippii east and Canada. Spain gets Cuba and Britian gets part of Flordia. This leaves Britain being the major player in North America.
