The last two days of class we read a passage and took notes on the reading. I wasn't in school on Friday so I don't really know what we did in class. All I know is that the class disscussed the packet that i recived on Thursday. Today in class we read about Washington. We talked about how he went to fort DeQuesve that was in New France, a place that England did't own, and captured it. But soon afterwards it was retaken by the French. The reason why the British wanted the land so much was because they wanted farmland to grow tobacco. This then became the French and Indian war. It  then ended in 1763 with the British winning. There was a slight problem though, the Indians who lived there were angry. To protect the colonies there was a line put between the two places. The people were very angry and it was known as "Salutory Neglect".
