Seven Year War

Overview of battle of the plains of abraham:

Quick : The battle of the plains of Abraham was a major battle during the seven year war that was located in Quebec city. A British invasion force defeated the french troops leading to the surrender of Quebec of the British. This force was led by general James Wolfe and both of the commanders ended up dying during this battle (They died from injuries). This battle ended on September 13, 1759.

Outcome of royal proclamation of 1763:

The proclamation was a law that forbade colonists to settle west of the Appalachian mountains. (“It is a document that set out guidelines for European settlement of Aboriginal territories in what is now North America. The Royal Proclamation was initially issued by King George in 1763 to officially claim British territory in North America after Britain won the Seven Years War.”)This ended up angering the colonists and this is because they felt that the Proclamation was basically like an action to keep them under control and that the British only wanted them east of the mountains so they would be able to watch them.

Two historical paintings of the thin red line:

(I already mentioned and talked about The Thin Red Line and how it works/what it is. But basically these two pictures that I found show how all of these soldiers were wearing red uniforms and are standing in three straight lines holding their weapons ready for attack.)

The treaty of paris 1763 overview:

The treaty of paris is what ended the war when Britain and France signed the treaty of paris. This treaty was signed on February 19, 1763. Both France and Britain agreed that they would give up territory that they had captured from one another in the war.

(This is some information on the treaty of paris that I found)

Overview of the causes of war on Acadia:

Acadiaians lived in the area for many years and generations, and they wanted to continue but they disliked being ruled by the british soldiers. (The british soldiers would harass them for the smallest things).

All about New France and its colonies before wars:

New France had harsh winters. They were cold and long(they would have animal skin blankets to help get through the cold winters). Houses in New France were commonly built near rivers, lakes, and ponds for peoples water needs for basic daily activities. Other Houses were built near forests so if the people needed wood for fires or to build it would be convenient for them. Some crops that were grown in New France were corn, beans, squash, pumpkin and etc.

Who was James Wolfe and what role did he play?

Who was James wolfe and what role did he play: General wolfe was the commander for the British army. His victory over the french in 1759 had made him become an icon of britain's victory in the seven year war(He defeated Montcalm). He played a key role in the french fortress at louisbourg. Wolfe sent about 4 thousand soldiers to attack Beauport shore. (about 440 of those soldiers were killed or injured so he needed to create another plan). James Wolfe was born on January 7, 1727 and died september 13, 1759(he was only 32 years old). He was killed at the height of the battle due to injuries(Three musket balls).

Map of the battle of the plains of abraham:

-The battle of plains of abraham happened beside the st. lawerence river, there are two rivers so the french and british both had there army/soldiers spread out to protect the land, they were ready for attak, the french were protecting quebec from the british because that is what the britsih wanted.

Aboriginal fighting methods:

The aboriginal people were able to hide in trees and be sneaky so they wouldn't be caught. They also lay on their stomachs so they are able to shoot and attak without being seen.

Overview on the hudson's bay:

The deep water ports(deep water ports are usually made up for the usage of very large and heavily loaded ships) gave the british an advantage over the french because ships would be able to sail right between britain and the hudson's bay. This would allow them to bring trading goods and would also allow them to trade/bring out furs.

Strategy that I found interesting(The Thin Red Line):

The Thin red line is when the British soldiers were standing in their red uniforms and were in three straight lines with their guns loaded. When these lines were 70 meters apart general wolfe ordered the lines to fire one by one and when the first line fired then would kneel down and reload there weapons and so on. I found that this strategy was very interesting because of how effective it was able to be.
