Day 6 post

Today we talked about the French and indian war. This war was lead by George Washington. George Washington wanted to try and get through the Appilation Montains and go around so that he could deliver a message to virginia faster. when he went over the mountains he was faced by the french territory. The French wanted him out and brought in troops to fight him and what little men he had with him. All of the odds were against Washington, he had few men, limeted reasources, no amunition, and no one to come in for back up. He was out numbered and had no second options.in the end he had a military victory but in the end he lost due to no revenue for the army. I learned that you can't always go into forigien territory head on and that you have to make percusions for what may happen if you were confronted with an outside force. I think that George Washinton had alot of courage to try his new thought plan and proceed even when the going got tough. Courage doesn't always require success but you being willing to fail and ready to take on anything that comes you way. George Washington also demostrated perserverence because he didn't just give up when he saw the French in the way he perservired and stuck it out in stead of retreating right away. I think this Event showed you don't always have to win something to do something big.
