This gets all of this list's interests: the RevWar, colonial history and Gen. Washington.

But what about Pontiac's Rebellion?

The F&I war is interesting because Washington basically instigated it, setting into motion the war whose debts would lead to the onerous taxation that led to the American Revolution which led to Washington being the first President. >[? SD>{?

Yep...you got that right. A few other interesting tidbits that I've picked up along the way:

--During the F&I War, the Crown's headquarters was NYC. When the war ended, the Crown left in 1763, causing a major economic depression in NYC. That's why the New Yorkers were so up in arms about the Stamp Act and the Stamp Act Congress was held there.

--Washington felt slighted by not gaining a commission in the regular British army and traveled to Boston in 1758 to complain to Gen. Shirley in person. It is said that he gained a lifelong enmity for the Brits because of this.
