Britain and Frace are in a fiery argument about which one of these hierarchies will gain the rich, fertile soiled Ohio River. Due to this situation, some Native Americans are deciding to join sides. France is going to equip our side of the Native Americans with armor and weapons. The main trophy both of the hierarchies are fighting for is the rich and fertile soil of the Ohio River.
The war is in progress!
Britain seems to be losing many soldiers along with the French. Many soldiers have lost their lives fighting for each side of the hierarchies to earn the Ohio River.

We have built forts to keep the British out and from taking important necessities, such as armor and weapons.

Editorial note
“The Confidence of the French in this Undertaking seems well-grounded on the present disunited State of the British Colonies, and the extreme Difficulty of bringing so many different Governments and Assemblies to agree in any speedy and effectual Measures for our common defense and Security; while our Enemies have the very great Advantage of being under one Direction, with one Council, and one Purse….”
-Benjamin Franklin
