Social Studies- The battle of the plains of Abraham comic
Storyboard Tekst
- It was the spring of 1739 and the British travelled from Louisbourg to Quebec
- FIn order to control New France and North America the British would have to control two things: the Fortress of Louisbourg, and the Fortress of Quebec. But, first General James Wolfe would need to find a way to capture Louisbourg.
- How to capture Louisbourg?
- But . . . it wasn't going to be easy. Because the fortress was located on top of a steep cliff.
- .But. . . Louisbourg was in a pretty strategic position. It was well fortified, on the ocean, and, of course, belonged to France.
- Hee Hee Hee!
- The French were on defence and the British on the offence. But, the French would not budge. So, on the night of September 13, 1759, British soldiers snuck onto the Plains of Abraham and prepared for battle
- So, the British went along with their plan to capture Louisbourg. This way they could have access to the St. Lawrence River which led to Quebec. To do this they blockaded the fort with a seige to cut off supplies and outside help. After seven weeks, Louisbourg fell into British Hands.
- WE ARE VICTORIOUS!
- When the British arrived the French had two choices: they could fight the British head on or they could hide and wait.
- Now to capture Quebec!
- The French decided to fight head and a fierce battle in the middle of a field owned by a farmer named Abraham raged on for fifteen minutes.
- Noooooooo!
- In the end, the French retreated and fell into British hands so the British were once again victorious.
- ALMOST THERE!
- Ohh, wait, sorry. I forgot to mention one little thing. Both General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm of the French and General James Wolfe of the British died during the very short battle.
- Oh no! What on earth shall we do?
- The Britain was victorious and managed to capture both fortresses.
- The End!La Fin!
- YEAHHH!
- Boo hoo!
