      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

  • She lived to see her son, George Washington inaugurated as president in 1789 but died four months later. She was buried on the Lewis plantation a few steps from "Meditation Rock", which tradition says was her favorite retreat for reading, prayer, and meditation

      She was very naggy. She always was complaining that the Washington family was so very poor. Always saying that the were never having money and always working all day long.

      she wasy always making negitive comments. Also always complaining. She didn't want to let george go to work but when they said he was going to get paid her opinion changed quickly. She was george washington's mother.
