My name is George Washington and i am a brave English man that will risk my life for England to get those pesky French out of the Ohio Valley.
I am here to deliver a message From Robert Dinwiddie. YOU MUST GET OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY!!
NO, IT IS OUR LAND!!
Virginia governor, Robert Dinwiddie sent troops led by George Washington to take over in 1754.
HA!! Now we have a fort!!
Rober Dinwiddie found the perfect person, GEORGE WASHINGTON!! Yes, the 1st president of the United States. Washington also grew up in a very wealthy family.
Yay we got them!!!!
George Washington went and the French and the British were fighting over the Ohio River Valley.
This land is for our farmers now.
To discourage the British, the French built Fort Duquesne.
Get Them!!!
Washington defeated a small French fort, but was then defeated when the French counter-attacked.
OH NO!
In 1755, the colonists and the British defeated two French forts near Nova Scotia. The British met defeat when general Edward Braddock led British troops into a French and Indian ambush near fort Duquesne. He died but Washigton was able to lead a retreat.
