Why do rivalries begin?
When Captain Daniel Joncaire sat down to dinner on December 4, 1753, he wasn’t expecting company. The weather was cold, rainy, and miserable at the French fort near Lake Erie. To Joncaire’s surprise, a tall young stranger strode into the room. He introduced himself as Major George Washington. Washington had traveled several hundred miles from Virginia to deliver a letter to the French.
Joncaire politely invited Washington to dine. As they ate, the captain boasted that France was determined to control the Ohio River Valley.
Joncaire’s remark made Washington pause. The letter he was carrying from Virginia’s governor warned the French to get out of the Ohio River Valley! For years, tensions had been building between France and England. At stake was more than control of the Ohio River Valley. The two rivals wanted to drive each other out of North America.
NORTH AMERICA – 1753
KEY= French forts
The most serious threat to England in North America came
from France
To protect their land claims, France built an
extensive system of forts.
These forts blocked the English colonies from expanding to
the west.
At first, most English settlers were content to stay along the Atlantic coast
By the 1740’s English traders
crossed the Appalachian Mts. in search of furs
They tried to take over the fur trade from the French with the natives
