The writing assignment did help a lot, actually. It gave me more of a reason to go look stuff up online than before. I don't really think that it helped more than the filming, though. Writing an assignment about one person would teach you their views only, while making a movie still puts you into character but you learn about everything as a whole, if that makes sense. lol. Plus I enjoy film making so much more. This isn't really a question from the war, but it's a question from real life... about the war. Why is it "casual" to know that the war was The British vs French with Indians, where the British faced the odds and suprislingly took them down, but the British had more Indian allies than the French? Where the French tribes larger in numbers or something? We chose the genre, and I am glad we got the subject that we did ;)
This is usually where I add a little "off topic of blog" note where I make a joke or something. But not this time! I'm switchin it up!

No joke...-5 points
ReplyDeletejust kidding you only loose -5 cool points.
I am kind of confused about your question but I will try and answer it the best that I can. The British were able to win because they began to fight like the indians. Once they replaced the first set of leaders with better ones that really helped the British as well. The British also were able to toward the end of the war to persuage indian allies of the French to become theirs. Loosing their indian allies and going up against great British leaders set them up to loose the war. PLUS the British got lucky and captured a supply fort. Does that help?
How did I lose -5 cool points? I would take away 5 cool points from you, but you would still be ahead of everyone else by like 50 so it wouldn't matter, haha.
ReplyDeleteNo I mean, I noticed when I was looking the war up on Google... that if you ask people (like on yahoo answers) they will almost 80% of the time say that the British overcame the odds by so much because it was them alone against the French AND their native american allies. I'm asking why its the "casual" thing to know, when The British had even MORE native tribes on their side. You know? It's not really a question, it's more of a "Why are people stupid?" thing. lol.
Well first you are looking on yahoo answers. Where you can be unsure who people are and what they really know. I could go on there and start (balderdashing)putting in answers about a Math question and in honesty know nothing about it.

This chosen answer was basically copied from an education website and explains how General Forbes made all the Native Americans peaceful with the British, which meant the French lost their Allies.
Plus my beloved French were starting to get their reputation of loosing often...they just were in a "funk".
Overall that being the "casual" thing to know means they didn't listen to their history teachers (and didn't have AWESOME ones that you all just happend to be blessed with! ex. Mr Tate, Mrs. Frantz etc etc )
How many people do you think really research about the French and Indian war and then go on yahoo answers :-P.
