What is the similarity between the Braddock's Defeat and Pontiac's Rebellion?Braddock's DefeatBritain realized that to win the war, it could not rely solely on the colonists for fundingor for troops. Therefore, the British sent General Edward Braddock and two regimentsto Virginia. In 1755, Braddock marched toward the French at Fort Duquesne. GeorgeWashington was at his side. Their red-coated army of 2,100 moved slowly over themountains, weighed down by a huge cannon. On July 9, on a narrow trail eight milesfrom Fort Duquesne, fewer than 900 French and Indian troops surprised Braddock'sforces. Washington suggested that his men break the formation and fight from behindthe trees, but Braddock would not listen. The general held his position and had fourhorses shot out from under him. Washington lost two horses. Four bullets went throughWashington's coat, but, miraculously, none hit him. In the end, nearly 1,000 men werekilled or wounded. General Braddock died from his wounds. American colonists werestunned by Braddock's defeat and by many other British losses over the next two years.Pontiac's RebellionAfter the French forces withdrew, the British took over their forts. They refused to givesupplies to the Native Americans, as the French had. British settlers also moved acrossthe mountains onto Native American land. In the spring and summer of 1763, NativeAmerican groups responded by attacking settlers and destroying almost every Britishfort west of the Appalachians. They surrounded the three remaining forts. This revoltwas called Pontiac's Rebellion, although the Ottawa war leader Pontiac was only one ofmany organizers. British settlers reacted with equal viciousness, killing even Indianswho had not attacked them. British officers came up with a brutal plan to end theDelaware siege at Fort Pitt The officers invited Delaware war leaders in to talk and thenzave them smallpox-infected blankets as gifts. This started a deadly outbreak. By thefall, the Native Americans had retreated. Even so, the uprising made the Britishgovernment see that defending Western lands would be costly. Therefore, the Britishissued the Proclamation of 1763, which forbade colonists to settle west of theAppalachians. The colonists were angry. They thought they had won the right to settle inthe Ohio River Valley. The British government was angry at the colonists, who did notwant to pay for their own defense. This hostility helped cause the war for Americanindependence, as you will read.I will put an image to show what I am working on.
