The Seven years’ War
During the eighteenth- century the diverse social and political backgrounds that existent during this time was hard on us all even before the war even started some of the colonials seen the social and political developments made from them different from the English.

In the summer of 1755 when the two British regiments led by Major General Edward Braddock approached the French outpost at Fort Duquesne on the forks of the Ohio; they had got ambushed, and cut to pieces by the French and the Native Americans.
