Our Tremendous Win!

The Seven Years war is finally over.  After a hard battle between the French and the British, we came out a winner thanks to Wolfe, our brilliant general leader. We wouldn't have done it without the help of our brave general who sacrificed his life for the British. Also, we wouldn't have won without our brave soldiers who put their life on the line just for the British.

The British attacked Beauport and failed.  Wolfe sent some soldiers and a few ships to Beauport and made the French think that the British were attacking there.  Wolfe sent his finest soldiers to Anse-du-Foulon to attack there, it was easy because most of the French soldiers were at Beauport. This battle strategy was called the Beauport feint. Now that the British were on the Plains of Abraham, the French's advantage of being on higher ground doesn't help the French now. Wolfe thought of a brilliant battle strategy, it was called the Thin Red Line. Wolfe ordered three lines of soldiers all holding  Musckats.  He orders the first line to shoot, then orders the second line to shoot while the first line kneels to reload, he orders the third line to shoot while line one and two are kneeling to reload and than it goes back to the first line. This battle strategy used in this war helped the British win the Seven Years war. During this battle, unfortunately Wolfe dies. He was shot by a French soldier. Because of Wolfe and his army, the British came out a winner. Victory is ours!

Why Were The First Nations Self-Sufficient?

            The First Nations people were self-sufficient because they knew how to catch their own food for e.g. they knew how to fish for food; they also knew how to use a bow and arrow to kill animals for food. The First Nations also used the animals for clothing, they skin them for their fur so they can survive in the winter time, and the First Nations also used the animals hide for shelter. The First Nations would have died if it weren't for the animals; they provided shelter, food, transportation and clothing. When the First Nations got sick, they got there medicine from plants and flowers. They also got there shelter from wood by making tepees. The Natives got there transportation from riding on animals and building canoes and boats from bark and wood from the trees. That is what the First Nations can do and that is why they are self-sufficient.
