10/1-10/2

Yesterday, we spent the class going over our homework from the weekend. The homework was on the three colonial sections of the early U.S: New England, the Middle, and the South. It focused on the differences and similarities between them. Then, once we had finished going over the homework, with a partner or two, we wrote down what we thought the average citizen from each section would look like and made a voice recording of that. Today, we learned about George Washington as a military leader with respect to the French and Indian War. The war started because the French had land west of the Appalachians that the British wanted. The British eventually won the war and then prohibited colonists from settling there so as not to disrupt the Native Americans living there. This made George Washington and other colonists who had helped win the war feel disrespected and like their efforts were for nothing.
