chp 5

Chapter five talks alot about what it was like before the war and how it came to be. It talked about how it was formed anf how at the start of things it was hard to get recruit those who they wanted like most whites. How they had to settle for poor whites. in the beginning the natives were not allowed too fight and colored folks were only able too fight up north. You also start to see the seperation between the north and south this way. The natives were eventually able to fight once they realized that they were needed after most people ended up leaving due to the fact people would lose everything while fighting. Lastly it ended with the constition and how it was formed and who formed it. How it was all rich white folk.

movie Q's

1) it started rival battles through out the world for land.
2) because he doesn't have the best reputation at this point and they told him to forget about it. no. and they made jokes of him.
3)he changes their mood by offering full and supplies of all kinds for their services.
4)Montcalm's defense action caused them to "mow them over like grass" even though they were supposed to get demolished. placing trees and branches all over in front of the fort which made any attempt to get closer like a crawl.
5) it fell after taking heavy cannon fire, they surrendered the fort which was to supply the whole upper Canada. with it filled with food, guns, and ammo. which devastated the french.
6) it served as a water highway. which gave them access to moving up easier due to the thick forest which made it extremely difficult.
7) they leave their side because the french are no longer giving them supplies and people are dying from disease and they were starting to starve.
8) it shows that they don't really work together nor due they agree on things. Washington does not want to use the road they are making which he finds to be too straight forward.
9) it was named after the prime minister who helped and made it possible.
10) after seeing this video it really changed my mind about him. i feel like he really doesn't know what he is doing. he never really won anything. and he decided to leave at the point that they were trying to build up their army. when they needed people the most and they're pushing the french back which eventually will stop and they are going to push back.

part 2 q's

1) because none other natives wanted too fight in a "White mans war"
2) 150 British colonials die and about 30 native warriors leave to go back home to grieve over there lost ones.
3)
-for them to take the place of those have died on there side
-they were held for ransom
-they were used to fight off invaders
4)her story was told because she was one of few who's story was known since she had written it down. the reason is for it showed how they were treated by the natives. how they could just come in and steal their whole family, kill anyone they wanted, and then expect them to come and take the place of one of their fallen warriors
5)in a way, yes. wanting to have the strongest and best army is a reasonable, but how he came about in doing so is questionable. i guess though that times were definitely different, so it is hard to get an actual understanding.
6)he was a french general. he did not like them because there way of fighting had no maner in it and he thought they were savages, but he still used them because he knew he needed them.
7)the native amercians were savage fighters. they had to take trophies. wether it be scalps or articles of the colonials.
8)the clash was between the natives. because they did not quite understand why they would just let people go. they wanted to kill them all and take trophies.

History Q's
