Back in good ol 1803 a little transaction occurred that saw the newly christened United States of America doubled in size, adding a chunk of land stretching from the west bank of the Mississippi River and covering 15 current states in the USA. Effectively this meant the U.S. territory stretched about 2/3 across the continent. Now land transfers have happened throughout ancient and modern history, however this one is special. This one is universally known as the greatest deal in human history, with the U.S paying France only $15 million dollars for a 1/3 of our nation. Now I know what you're thinking, weren't we under British control until that whole Declaration of Independence/American Revolution thing? Well yeah we were, but the area right in our backyard was under the "ownership" of the French. This extremely pivotal point in our history only happened due to the alignment of so many events it's nearly a miracle this thing was pulled off. Tune in now to find out how.
In this episode, James and new cohost Jacob Herr kick off a new series on the French and Indian War. You'll want to catch every action-packed episode of this narrative of a little-known but crucial war for control of the region that later became the United States of America.
On this day in 1754, Benjamin Franklin published the famous “Join, or Die” political cartoon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aidan and Colten talk about the Seven Years War, that is also known in the United States as the French and Indian War.
In this episode, we're going to look at a world-changing war, that was started by an small Indian and colonial raid on a French patrol. That Indian raid included a few members of the Virginia Militia, including a 22 year old Lieutenant colonel named George Washington. This little raid was later described as “the volley fired by a young Virginian in the backwoods of America that set the world on fire.”Website: shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail: shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

In this first episode of Season 3, James and Jerry journey to Mineral County, West Virginia. Why Mineral County? This is where the city of Fort Ashby is located and home to the Ashby's Fort Museum. After taking in this historical location built during the French and Indian War, we had the fantastic opportunity to interview Randy Crane who is a volunteer curator for the museum.

Episode: 2479 Restigouche River: site of the last naval battle in the French and Indian War. Today, the last naval battle of The Seven Years War.
Carl Trueman, in his response to David French's recent call for compromise with the Left on The Respect for Marriage Act, and his subsequent further explanation of why his position on gay marriage has evolved like Barrack Obama's, shares an especially astute observation: "It is now clear that orthodox Protestants, specifically evangelicals, do not own the country. Whether they ever did is a matter for debate; that they thought they did is indisputable." Yet setting aside, for the moment, what is or is not debatable or disputed, on Thanksgiving Day, in the year of our Lord, 2022, I watched Last of the Mohicans with my wife and kids for the first time. And, by the way, according to respondents among my family and friends on Facebook, Last of the Mohicans is indeed a Thanksgiving movie. And I think the reason for that has a lot to do with the period in which the story is set, 1757, one generation prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the founding of the United States of America. In a story of the French and Indian War, we see the War for Independence coming down the pike. As American colonials grow once-and-for-all tired of being treated as disposable pawns in the wars of Old World monarchs and their empires, what is most important to the American colonists is a very simple thing: the ability to protect and provide for their own wives and children. British Colonel George Munro, as a stand-in for King George II, is loathe to release the militiamen, even when reports come back to their fort that farms and cabins are being attacked, and families are being murdered by the indigenous allies of France. The most important thing to Munro is protecting the interests of the British crown in America. He can't spare the men, he says. But then the fort falls anyway. So what was the point? Some contemporaries will say the point was all just sinful man killing and being killed, and there's no sense to any of it. I beg to differ. So also, I dissent with an establishment figure like French who, well connected and established as a commentator the way he is, concludes the fears of what would come from Obergefell v. Hodges have proven unfounded. Religious liberty has won several victories at the Supreme Court. Therefore, we should content ourselves to only that, and no more, and leave behind forever talk of disrupting gay marriages and homosexual families. To do otherwise would upset our non-Christian neighbors, and they might further encroach on our religious liberty, and not like us very much. Yet French seems to me as detached and distant from the practical realities of frontier life as many of the aristocrats in mid-18th century Europe were to what was being unleashed on American colonists. This or that course may eat into the crown's holdings, or what income is gotten from indentured servants on rental properties in the New World. French's concern is far from existential for him or his friends in a timely peace which preserves the suitably profitable status quo. An ongoing struggle, though? Anything might happen. Trueman is right, then, that orthodox Protestants clearly do not own America. Yet one can't help but feel, when reading the likes of David French, as though his kind of Protestant does lay claim to America in a way they also don't believe men like me ever should. But if that is the case, it's just as well, I suppose. Turnabout is fair play, and the feeling is mutual. Men like me don't think men like French should hold our forts in the New World. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support
Everyone knows that George Washington led the Continental Army in the American Revolution and became the first President of the United States. Fewer know that it may have been a young Lieutenant Colonel George Washington who in 1754, twenty-two years before the American colonies declared independence, actually started the French and Indian War. In today's episode we look at Washington's role in starting the first truly global conflict. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/revisionisthistory/support
How much do you know about America's first documented serial killers, The Bloody Harpes? Micajah and Wiley Harpe went on a crazy murder spree out on the western American frontier, starting in late 1798. The murdered men, women, children, and even babies. And they'd been bad, murderous men long before their final year of terror. They'd ran with a gang of river pirates, they'd been members of a Tory rape gang during the Revolutionary War. They went on raids with a band of Cherokee warriors. They LOVED to try and split a skull in two with a tomahawk. Their entire crazy true crime story told this week.

A year after John Bradstreet's raid of 1758—the first and largest British-American riverine raid mounted during the Seven Years' War (known in North America as the French and Indian War)—Benjamin Franklin hailed it as one of the great “American” victories of the war.

Selon certains historiens, la première guerre mondiale aurait eu lieu au XVIIIe siècle et de 1756 à 1763. Il s'agit du conflit que nous appelons en Europe la guerre de Sept Ans parce qu'il a duré… 7 ans ! Elle est beaucoup moins connue que la grande guerre mais les combats s'y déroulent aussi dans le monde entier, en impliquant toutes sortes de peuples et elle entraîne elle-aussi des conséquences fondamentales pour les périodes suivantes. Pourquoi ce conflit à la dimension mondiale est-il le creuset des guerres qui suivent ? #HGGSP #Terminale *** Cet épisode de podcast reprend en partie un script que j'avais écrit pour un épisode de la chaîne Youtube "Nota Bene".

On September 8, 1755, two armies clashed along the southern shore of Lake George in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The battle between William Johnson's force of colonial provincials and Mohawk allies and Baron de Dieskau's French and Native American army would decide who possessed the lower part of the strategic water highway system that connected New York City with Quebec. Join author and ERW historian Billy Griffith for a discussion about this crucial event in the early stages of the French and Indian War that can be considered one of the first true “American” victories against professional foreign troops.
Protestant settlers in the Americas believed it was their duty to convert indigenous peoples to the true Gospel. Yet the task proved unexpectedly difficult. The effort revealed and challenged deep European assumptions about culture and the nature of Christianity itself. From Massachusetts to Chile, Protestant would-be missionaries took roads that were paved mostly, but not entirely, with good intentions.

Assisting the Americans in the War of Independence proved a costly decision for France. The nation's failure to adequately address the desperate and worsening financial situation led it to near bankruptcy. The King reluctantly agreed to convene the Estates General to approve a sweeping tax proposal to raise revenues. Following in the heels of the disastrous Great Leap Forward, the Four Clean Ups Campaign is pushed out in another failed attempt to achieve a communist utopia. Desperately Mao Zedong searches for yet another movement that will propel China toward his goals of communism and ideological purity.
I begin telling the stories of the two revolutions. All revolutions need a spark to begin. For France, the spark was the crushing poverty and starvation. Mismanagement plunged France toward bankruptcy. For China, the spark was the disaster of the Great Leap Forward. China's leader was troubled by the nation's political and social direction.

Patriot Power Podcast - The American Revolution, Founding Fathers and 18th Century History
The Seven Years' War, also known as the French and Indian War in the colonies, lasted from 1756 to 1763, forming a chapter in the imperial struggle between Britain and France. Both were doing all they could to gain control of the Ohio Valley and add to their respective empire. In the early 1750s, France's expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought with it conflict in the British colonies, especially Virginia. In 1754, the French built Fort Duquesne where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers joined to form the Ohio River (in today's Pittsburgh), making it a strategically important stronghold that the British repeatedly attacked. We discuss how George Washington and his party started the war, how he faired during his first military experience, and how he regained some momentum during a slaughter at Braddock's defeat and provide an overall summation of the war, the people involved, and the aftermath it left.

The seeds of what would eventually become the Seven Years War or French and Indian War, a truly global conflict, were planted the moment Europeans landed in North America. Empire building was hungry work, and the British and French in the mid-18th century had become ravenous. In North America, the two empires frequently butted heads and regularly used Native tribes to stir up trouble or fight proxy wars. Initially, the French explored deeper into the heart of North America than the coast-bound English. So they staked a larger claim to the land, built far more numerous (and amicable) alliances with Native tribes, and most important of all, the French had chiseled together a lucrative, intricate trade network. The British daily had ships filled to the gunwales with people and goods landing up and down the easter seaboard and planned to smother the French through sheer weight of numbers. A fight over which national culture would dominate the New World was in the offing; all that was needed was a spark. As the war progressed, events seemed to favor the French. Victory after victory fell the French way and the British were on their heels. The Siege of Fort William Henry and the massacre that followed appeared to be one more proverbial nail in the coffin. The short siege of the star fort on Lake George was small in terms of scale, but the aftereffects were massive. The propaganda coup that the massacre represented for the British was considerable. Never again would the Native American tribe's swarm to the French banners. The power of the colonial militias became abundantly apparent as they answered the call in the wake of the siege. Pitt's sea-change leadership in London went on to turn the war around in favor of the British, and soon the Seven Years War would be over. Of course, colonists would not remain content for long, war's are expensive, and the British Empire wanted the Americans to pay for their share.
