Essential Question

Who were the people involved in the French and Indian War?  Where were the British colonies?  Where were the French colonies?  Which land was disputed by the French and British?  What was life like for the American Indian nations living in the Ohio River Valley in the 1750s?

Objective

Student Objectives:  Students will…
• Map the location of the British colonies
• Map the location of the French colony
• Identify the disputed land
• List three facts about the American Indians living in the Ohio River Valley

Background

This is Unit 1 from the teacher's guide "The French and Indian War 1754-1763." It includes two lesson plans:

  • "The Forks of the Ohio" where students map the British and French colonies and identify the disputed area.
  • "A Much Clearer Picture" has students research facts about the lifestyle of the American Indian nations living the Ohio River Valley.

Critical Content: The thirteen British colonies were located along the Atlantic seaboard. The French colony of New France was located in what is now Canada and along the Mississippi River. Between them was the Ohio River Valley, a large area of land that both the French and the British claimed, but neither colony had settled. Many American Indians lived on this land. The three main nations living in the Ohio River Valley were the Seneca, Delaware and Shawnee. In 1753 the French began building forts on this disputed land and set the conflict into motion.
