The british government called for representatives from all 7 colonies to meet in New York to develop a plan. The Albany Plan of Union was developed by Benjamin Franklin. It allowed for tax collecting from the colonies and their troops. The Albany Congress set the pathway for more revolutionary congresses in the 1770’s.

In western Maryland in 1755, General Braddock led a force of 1500 soldiers out of Ft. Cumberland with the intent to oust the French from Ft. Duquesne. When nearing the fort Braddock and his troops were ambushed by 200 French troops and 600 Native American allies. Most soldiers were in such panic that they acted in cowardice, but the officers behaved gallantly and encouraged their men. The British suffered 450 deaths and 500 wounded including Braddock who later died.

They conquered Canda, reclaimed Louisbourg, Quebec, and Montreal then signing the peace treaty of 1763 with France. Through the treaty Britain acquired French Canda and Spanish Florida. French felt bad for Spain so they gave Spain Louisiana and their claims west of the Mississippi.

The British saw the colonists military as really bad compared to theirs, however the colonists believed otherwise, saying that they had a good defense and that British militaries didn’t have good leadership. They believed their tactics weren’t good enough for their terrain.
