“There must be a different solution than the one from hell’. Full unadulterated terror . 'The best class always ends with a lesson'.

In 1763, Britain defeated France in the worldwide Seven Years War - referred to in the American Colonies as The French and Indian War. As a result, the French abandoned America, leaving the Native population who had sided with the French to fear the British would seek revenge.

The combatants on both sides deployed unconventional and often brutal strategies and tactics.
