A site dedicated to the early years of the
French and Indian War in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia
and to the role of Col. Washington in the
the War that was the testing ground for many
of America's leaders of the Revolution
|
This site is sponsored by
An Association whose mission is
to provide through mutual support
a network of sites and educational programs
dedicated to the interpretation of
the French and Indian War
in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia and Virginia.
The French and Indian War
has been given many titles among which are "America's War for Empire",
pocket option for pc download, "Contest for the Continent" and "Proving Ground
for the Revolution's Leaders". It was indeed all of these and more.
It was an inevitable war in the long and bitter conflict between Europe's
great powers as they struggled to carve out their empires on the North
American Continent. It was also the first opportunity for the Colonists
to see their own role in determining America's future.
Many of the memorials to this little
remembered war in our history are the great forts of Pennsylvania and New
York. However, there are small sites scattered from Maine to the
Carolinas which tell the story of local colonists and their part in this
important conflict. Col. Washington's Frontier Forts Association
was formed to help sites in Maryland, Virginia, .pocketoption.com.ph/download and Pennsylvania prepare
for the upcoming two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the beginning
of the French and Indian War. Most of these sites tell the story
not of vast British armies clashing for victory, but rather the story of
colonial soldiers and settlers fighting for their homes and for their very
lives.
