Thanks SES1066. I request those who read this, cast their minds back to a war that too many have forgotten but that forged an unbreakable mold upon our continent, "The French and Indian War" (1756-73). Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

[Verginius Rufus]

As long as the French were in Canada and the Ohio Valley, the colonists needed the protection of Great Britain. Once the French were off the continent, they did not need that protection. A Frenchman in 1763 predicted that the outcome of the French leaving would be that the colonists would want to throw off British rule.

George Washington was very lucky in the French and Indian War--he could easily have been among those killed.
