This is what the war was called outside of America. We call it of course, The French & Indian War. But in this battle Washington did not win. In fact, he knows he would've lost so he surrendered! The Indians scalped the people who died. Only 780 out of 2000 lived.
Braddock died during the war. He gave Washington a sash (which is as scarf). They buried Braddock under a road so that they wouldn't have the Indians scalp Braddock. They had to cover up the burial place by walking over it.
Braddock died of his wounds on July 13, four days after the battle, and was buried on the road near Fort Necessity.
To this day Braddock's body is concealed behind a fence under a rock. That small piece of land doesn't belong to the states. It belongs to England and that's their property since Braddock was an English General.
This battle made Washington look like a complete idiot! Although he made himself look stupid he was very useful. He gotshot under his horse (throughout his lifetime) and survived. His battles in general were nothing to him. He would stand in the middle and wouldn't get a single scratch.

they had to burry him under a road because if they buried braddock in a proper grave sight than the indians would dig the body up and destroy it by ripping the scalp off of the victims head

he also drew the picture that was wrong about the british soliders. he drew that the leader was in the back of his men but it reality the leader was in front of his man because he didn't want his man to shoot .
he was also known for drawing out the boston massacre wrong by putting the general behind the row of men , not in front , and he left out like one or two black guuys that got shot down
ul Revere (bap. January 1, 1735 [O.S. December 22, 1734] – May 10, 1818)[1] was an American silversmith and a patriot in the American Revolution.
Revere had numerous siblings with whom he appears to have been not particularly close. Revere's father, born Apollos Rivoire, came to Boston at the age of 13 and was apprenticed to a silversmith.
The warning delivered by the three riders successfully allowed the militia to repel the British troops in Concord, who were harried by guerrilla fire along the road back to Boston. Prescott knew the countryside well even in the dark, and arrived at Concord in time to warn the people there.
In his poem, Longfellow took many liberties with the events of the evening, most especially giving sole credit to Revere for the collective achievements of the three riders (as well as the other riders whose names do not survive to history). Longfellow also depicts the lantern signal in the Old North Church as meant for Revere and not from him, as was actually the case.
He was celebrated after his death for his role as a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord, and Revere's name and his "midnight ride" are well-known in the United States as a patriotic symbol. In his lifetime, Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston craftsman, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military.
paul revere was a silversmith and he was a member of the sons of liberty and the most famous thing he said was "the british are coming, the british are coming"!
Abigail was pregnant with her fourth child. John Adams at that time was off to the Second Continental Congress. The Second Continental Congress also took place in Philadelphia. There he would meet many politicans.
This women was the wife of john adams who was the second president of the united states. she was also the mother of john quincy adams VI . She was also the first second lady of the united states.
Abigail Adams was born in the North Parish Congregational Church in Weymouth, Massachusetts, on November 11, 1744, to the Rev. William Smith and Elizabeth (née Quincy) Smith. On her mother's side she was descended from the Quincy family, a well-known political family in the Massachusetts colony.
Abigail was born in North Parish in Congregational Church in Weymouth Massachusetts on 11/11/1744. Her parents were named Rev. William Smith and Elizabeth Quincy. Her family were known for the political family in the colonies.
Although John Adams had known the Smith family since he was a boy (he and Abigail were third cousins[2]), he paid no attention to the delicate child nine years his junior.
Although Abigail's father approved of the match, her mother was appalled that a Smith would throw her life away on a country lawyer whose manners still reeked of the farm; eventually she gave in.
Abigail's father had approved of her match. Her mother thought that she will lose her life by being with a country lawyer, she had still been with him.
In 10 years she gave birth to six children:
Abigail ("Nabby") (1765–1813)
John Quincy Adams (1767–1848)
Susanna Boylston (1768–1770)
Charles (1770–1800)
Thomas Boylston Adams (1772–1832)
Elizabeth (stillborn in 1777)
After John Adams' defeat in his presidential re-election campaign, the family retired to Quincy in 1800. Abigail followed her son's political career earnestly, as her letters to her contemporaries show. In later years, she renewed correspondence with Thomas Jefferson, whose political opposition to her husband had hurt her deeply.
Abigail and John's marriage relationship is well documented through their correspondence and other writings. Letters exchanged throughout John's political obligations indicate that his trust in Abigail's knowledge was sincere
Along with her husband, Adams believed that slavery was not only evil, but a threat to the American democratic experiment. A letter written by her on March 31, 1776, explained that she doubted most of the Virginians had such "passion for Liberty" as they claimed they did, since they "deprive[d] their fellow Creatures" of freedom
