[@frankpienkosky5688]

Braddock was buried in the road and the army marched over him so the indians wouldn't discover the burial site and dig up the body and desecrate it....wasn't until the early 20th century and the construction of route 40 that the body was found and moved to its current site alongside the road....

Martin...isn't it interesting. I'm 58 and learned this history in the 8th grade (age 14) I just hate that I wasn't interested then. I just would memorize names and dates....sometimes by wearing a long sleeved shirt and writing a few cheat hints on my wrist. I just recently did a family tree and the "Bolton" side of my family traces all the way back from England to Virginia in 1640! So now of course I have the names of family members and dates and towns where they were living....so of course I have become super interested in this History.

[@kbrewski1]

[@jonathanlochridge9462]

Yeah, Although a lot of time the detail given is a lot less than this guy gives though. I think having the visual and spacial element of showing the locations on the map with the date makes their significance easier to discern. If it is just dates and events then trying to figure out why they matter can be difficult. Overall, diving deeping can be cool. Although, often studying particular things can miss the geographic and time-based context I did find that kind of thing easier to remember. I remember my middle school papers better than I do the dates and such of events. Interest and showing why something is important is valuable. @@stefkadank-derpjr1453

[@kathyastrom1315]

This is excellent! I’ve been learning more about this war since starting to research my family genealogy. I found it that a 6th great grandfather Daniel Goodwin had enlisted in Monckton’s New England militia and fought at the capture of Ft. Beausejour/Cumberland and then was stationed at the renamed Ft. Monckton, where he served as a messenger to nearby forts when needed. I also appreciated seeing Louisbourg highlighted on the map. The brother of an 8th great grandmother (different branch of Grandma’s tree than Daniel), William Pepperrell, had led the force that captured that fort in 1745. He was made a Major General in 1755 and had raised forces and trained them as the 51st Regiment of Foot alongside Shirley’s 50th Regiment. These two regiments were the ones defeated by Montcalm at Ft. Oswego in 1756. Pepperrell died in 1759.

@@kubhlaikhan2015 If your ancestors went to Louisiana via Haiti it appears they may have been among the group that left Nova Scotia with Joseph Broussard (1702-1765), also known as Beausoleil.

You're a moron! Here's a clue for you. In Canada this war is called "The 7 Years War.' Regardless of the name it is the same war, and although ignored in this video, involved the same abuse of the native Americans to divide the tribes, and use them to fight their war. Here's another clue; the posted dates. It's an obvious clue that someone has posted numerous KZbin videos, edited for historical revision and Negationism. Do you really want that taught in schools?

[@demonmonsterdave]

If teachers used this they would have to think of nearly 11 weeks of educational activities for their classes, as well as needing to explain all that to the head teacher and higher level bureaucrats. It's a detriment to promotion, almost certainly against "du roolz" and how does a poor teacher feed her family after she is fired for actually educating young people? Not worth the risks. Read the textbooks to the class slowly and only answer one question a week so that you can manage your time and make sure they only know the answers needed to pass "du eggzam".

Having grown up in Upstate NY and having an ancestor who served in the militia during the F&I war, this war is in many ways far more palpable to me than the American Revolution. I visited Ft. Ticonderoga and the somewhat more touristy Ft. WIlliam Henry as a kid probably every summer. Much of NY State has this living history you can still feel today if you know where to look. I never really understood the battles in that war until I watched this video. I vaguely understood that the French came down from what is today Canada and had those forts but I didn't know how they changed hands and how the war was nearly lost by the English.

After the War, the French also kept the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, just off the coast of Newfoundland, as a guarantee of having good fishing grounds in that north Atlantic area.

[@EdinburghFive]

France did not keep Saint-Pierre and Miquelon at the end of the Seven Years War. France had ceded the island to the British in 1713. Britain ceded the islands back to France at the end of the Seven Years War to allow France to exploit fishing rights it maintained in the Gulf of St Lawrence.

Of course, after the war, these places declined in importance as St. Louis (1763) was then founded on the west side of the river, since that side had not been ceded to the British.

You may be a bit mixed up - Fort Lawrence was always called Fort Lawrence. Fort Beauséjour was renamed Fort Cumberland after it was captured by the British. Fort Lawrence then became redundant and it was destroyed by the British in 1756 to keep it out of the hands of French troops, and Mi'kmaq and Acadians militias.

Cool! I am about the take a college level US. History course. So, I am getting started on learning extra. I love history but so far I have studied more world and ancient history. I have studied the early colonization a bit more. And have read biographies of a lot of major figures like William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, and others. I am particularly curious about the patterns of settlement. And I am hoping to maybe make a paper focused on the history of a single city in the US. and how it ties into broader earlier American history. As city history is one of my favorite types. I actually work for an urbanist KZbin channel. So, I hopefully might be able to repurpose some of my school papers. And use that as an extra motivation to go even deeper. I am heavily considering going deeper into the history of Pittsborough. Or Fort Pitt. I have also considered studying the non-Canadian french colonies more specifically Such as Lousianna and trying to tell how much of an impact they made on Ohio. Studying the french perspective of the "7 years war" also seems like an interesting idea. Although, Since I don't speak french that might be a little difficult. I might be able to find translations. I have also been looking for information about the particular tribes involved in the war as well. I am not 100% sure yet though. @@JeffreytheLibrarian

The Acadians who end up in Louisiana do so in the 1760s, after the close of the Seven Years War with the largest group arriving there in the 1780s. The deportations of Acadian continues until the end of the Seven Years War, taking Acadians not only to the other American North American colonies but also to England and to France. Fighting continues across Acadian/Nova Scotia throughout the remainder of the Seven Years War. A substantial British force and ships remain at Halifax in 1757 and prepare for an assault against Louisbourg in the spring of 1758.

Flaw at 17:00 ... The Seven Years War is the more neutral term. The French and Indian War is an American designation.. but there was a war in Europe of "the Austrian Succession" ...whose participants were not all too interested in distant settlers and natives.

[@EdinburghFive]

Your timeline is a little mixed up. The War of the Austrian Succession took place from 1740 - 1748. The French and Indian War started in 1754 and becomes part of the larger conflict the Seven Years War, 1756-1763. For Britain, its efforts outside of Europe were part of an important strategy to weaken France by taking away its colonies and the wealth that flowed from them.

I lived in Johnstown, NY I loved the history of Saratoga, Saranack, Lake George, and Mohawk Valley. It's a beautiful area.

[@JeffreytheLibrarian]

It's pretty up there. Lake towns have so much to offer.

[@simonestreeter1518]

Thanks for this. I would have liked a little more on how the war ended in Europe, and what the ramifications of the treaty would end up being.

[@Rowlph8888]

European section of 7 years War, is wide and savage, but The changes in the status quo are not monumental, except for the act of the late emergence of a new Russian Czar, who pulled Russia away from attacking Prussia, who then Managed an unlikely Survival, resulting in them becoming the Clear dominant of the small German states going forwards, which was the clear catalyst for a unified Germany a century later. *Britain leaving France with the sugar plantations, enables French elites, "enraged" by the catastropheof this war to focus most of the proceeds into updating the French Navy and enables effective support of the colonists in the war of independence later, along with Spain.Without this error, the French would never have been able to mount an effective support in the war of independence would have been won by the British easily… Then when they became industrialised a few decades later, they would have steam powered Gunships, only 2 of which was Enough to bring Imperial China to its knees in the opium Wars.This would ensure that there would be no War of Independence in the Next few centuries as Britain would keep the secrets of industrialisation, far more covert, due to the need for national security following the failed uprising.

[@simonestreeter1518]

This is interesting, thank you. I would argue that the British did not keep the secrets of industrialization, quite the contrary. I have a book from the 1920s decrying how the Anglosphere was giving away the secrets to the East, in fact. I'm not sure which war of independence you think has been prevented for a 'few centuries' but the real control has gone to a superstate of fintech industry that is not supportive of national sovereignty for any nation. Or nearly.@@Rowlph8888

Thank you!

A Masterful Job. During the 250th anniversary years of the War, the Pittsburgh region made a big deal of its commemoration with a series of events and festivals beginning in 2004. I was part of a team of living historians and reenactors representing the various colonial and native participants on the British side. I portrayed a colorful western Maryland frontiersman and organizer of the Ohio Company of Virginia, Col° Thomas Cresap, Maryland Militia. So good to have an elegant summary of that defining period in pre-Revolutionary American history.!!

I have a ancestor that migrated from mon st doll Brittany to isle d Orleans on the st. Lawrence river in 1768. Bernard lasine dit laliberte. how can I research this further?

[@JeffreytheLibrarian]

There are a few options. You would want to contact either the local library or historical society and see if they have any local census records or plat maps. The local courthouse might have marriage or death records. 1768 is early, but there might be records that are later with the same surname if the family stayed in the same area. Also, baptism records might be available if you know what church they belonged to.
