  1. French Flag British Flag French and Indian War1754-1763 Why did the French and Native Americans ‘team up’?

  2. How do you think the British felt about that? We’ll kick the British out of the Ohio trading post at Pickawillany and build forts to keep the British from moving west.

  3. The French keep trying to block the British from moving West. The French even take over a British trading post and re-name it “Ft. Duquesne” (doo KAYN). We’ll build forts to keep the British from moving west. Robert Dinwiddie, the British Governor of Virginia, wrote to the French military leader in Ohio: “Sir, the country located on the Ohio River is so obviously the property of the British king that I am both surprised and hurt on hearing that a band of French troops is building forts on this river.” (p. 91 S. Studies book) “Whatever your instructions may be, I also have mine, which are: to remain here by orders of my general.”

  4. The French kicked the British out of Pickawillany, built forts to keep the British from moving west, and took over a British trading post. NOW WHAT? We’ll find out tomorrow!

Include SPECIFIC DETAILS from what you have learned. (Use pages 86-89.) • You can address your letter to people from your own community or people from another community. (For example, if you are pretending to be French, you could write to your own French people, to the Native Americans or the British.)

  9. After years of fighting between the French and British. . . . • French and British leaders met to sign a peace treaty.

  10. “It is important for us, my brothers, that we exterminate [wipe out] from our lands this nation [Great Britain] which seeks only to destroy us.” Even though the French and British signed a peace treaty, who was going to ‘have peace’? Pontiac, an Ottawa Chief, saw a problem.

  11. They attacked the British forts in Ohio Country. Henry Bouquet was sent to protect Ohio country. The Native Americans gave up. Pontiac persuaded some Mingo, Miami, Delaware and Shawnee to join him.
