Regardless of the title, the Washington Territory was the farthest place one could be away from the war itself. In the time when it first started, Washington and her citizens were only just recovering from a number of conflicts- The Pig War being one of them- such as the only recently made peace with the Native Americans (Native Washingtonians?), and she and her people were kind of stressed out at the time the Civil War started. The U.S. Military had been called from Oregon, but Washington didn’t want to go. On May 10, 1861, Henry McGill, Washington’s governor, replied to President Lincoln’s initial request for soldiers,

  • George Washington: Fort Necessity In The French And Indian War

    439 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I look at the George Washington picture I notice how the artist uses lighter colors to make Washington stand out among his achievements, such as the crumpled up British flag in the left hand corner. When I see this article of art I think that Washington must have been a wonderful officer and won many battles. However, when I add what I have learned about Washington it changes how I see the picture because Washington was not always a great general, he made mistakes but he learned from them. He learned a lot from his first battle at Fort Necessity in the French and Indian War, which helped him adopt the strategic defensive he used in the revolutionary war to help his men stay alive and keep fighting to show that American would not back down.
