Andros's orders in answer to various petitions Memorandum of gov. Frederic served as a military base for French assaults into New England and New York, which intensified in the fall of , when a French party of regulars and Indians attacked and destroyed Saratoga. Large-scale French raids from Fort St. Frederic continued through In France and England signed the Treaty of Aux-la-Chapelle, ending the war, but the two countries failed to clarify the boundary between New France and the English colonies.
Frederic remained a French stronghold, terrifying the English colonies. This event marked the beginning of the conflict known as the French and Indian War in North America.
The conflict spread to Europe in , where it was known as the Seven Years War. The English colonies assembled nearly 4, troops at Albany, in addition to hundreds of bateaux and canoes. While the English were constructing forts along the frontier road, the French, informed of the British approach, assembled an expeditionary force of 2, troops to build a fortification at Ticonderoga, later called Fort Carillon. From this base the French rowed to South Bay and marched overland to the southern end of Lake George, where they attacked the British.
Vastly outnumbered, the French were defeated at the Battle of Lake George. That winter the two forces planned their strategies for the upcoming campaign, but the well-organized plans fell apart once summer arrived.
Military activity on Lake Champlain consisted mostly of French vessels moving troops and supplies from the northern end of the lake to Crown Point, Chimney Point, and Ticonderoga. The vessels consisted of canoes, barges, bateaux, small sailing galleys, and St. The skirmishes that did occur during the season were between spies on reconnaissance missions.
The daring Rogers Rangers, a New Hampshire regiment, even carried vessels around the mountains west of Ticonderoga into Lake Champlain north of the fort to spy on French movement in the Champlain Valley.
The French attacked the lightly garrisoned fort and burned its outbuildings and all of the British vessels, but they failed to capture the fort itself. In August the French renewed their siege of Fort William Henry, this time taking the fort within a week. After the atrocity, the Native American warriors returned to Canada through the Champlain Valley with their plunder.
In early July , a force of 6, British regulars and 9, provincial troops gathered at the ruins of Fort William Henry. Their plan was to attack Fort Carillon and Fort St. Frederic, then to advance to Montreal. In a splendid show of military power, the English army crossed Lake George in approximately bateaux and whaleboats with their artillery on a number of pontoon rafts. The massive British army slowly approached Fort Carillon, which was only occupied by approximately 3, troops.
The British commander James Abercromby made a tragic blunder, however, by insisting that the well-fortified stronghold be taken by a frontal assault in broad daylight after learning that a large French reinforcement would be arriving shortly.
Nearly 2, British troops were killed or wounded in this ill-fated attack. The British army, discouraged and confused, abandoned its provisions and wounded during their retreat to the southern end of Lake George.
The spring of saw the gathering of another British and provincial army on Lake George with the objective of driving the French from Lake Champlain. This British expedition was led by a more cautious commander-in-chief, Major General Jeffery Amherst. The British left their new fortification of Fort George, located at the southern end of Lake George, with over 11, troops in another impressive flotilla.
Although the French troops at Carillon were nearly equal in number to the previous year, their rations were short and disease had ravaged the men inside the fort. The calm, precise, and methodical management of the British troops and artillery forced the small man French army to retreat to Crown Point by bateaux and three sloops. The British army moved most of their fleet overland to Lake Champlain and recovered the vessels intentionally sunk by the French during their retreat.
The fighting was now concentrated in the Champlain Valley. Between and , the Dutch and English fought three naval wars, battling for supremacy in shipping and trade. Three hundred soldiers from four warships went ashore on Long Island in August and moved west to Brooklyn, enlisting support from the English towns on Long Island and distributing handbills ahead of the advancing troops offering fair treatment for those who surrendered.
They balked, and Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the colony, though under terms that he, the merchants, and leaders agreed upon with Nicolls. The Dutch were allowed to stay on their land, religious freedom was upheld, and the pubs stayed open. All publick Houses shall continue for the uses, wch.
