1) Why do only the Mohawk agree to fight with General Johnson?
They agree to fight with them because the other tribes wouldn’t want to shed native blood in a white man’s war.
2) What are the results of the Battle of Lake George?
The English won and forced the French to retreat.
3) For what purposes did the Native Americans take captive? (List three)
They wanted to frighten settlers to leave so they could have their land back.
They took them to replace Indians who have died in the war and spiritual reasons
They used them as weapons against the encroachers.
4) Why is the story of Mary Jemison presented? What purpose does it serve?
To show how it was also hard for women during the war, and what was happening to other colonists.
5) Do you agree with Washington's disciplinary practices on deserters? Why or why
not?
Yes and no, I don’t think it was right to hang them but it did send out a message to his troops and scare them.
6) Who is Montcalm and why doesn't he like the Natives?
He is a French commander. They look like barbarians, and dress poorly for war, he doesn’t like the way they prepare for war by singing a war song.
7) What are the Native Americans code of honor? How does this differ from the Europeans' Code of War?
They take their weapons from their enemies they have killed to prove that they have won. The Europeans see is a savagery. The native American’s fight in the woods rather then fight in a line like the Europeans, they also kill women and children and the Europeans don’t. When someone would surrender they would let them leave but the Native Americans wouldn’t.
8) Discuss the culture clash that happens at Fort William Henry.
The French and British have a banquet and the Indians are not invited. They also didn’t like the formal apporch they had, and was upset when they didn’t let them take captives.
