Questions for PART 2 of The French and Indian War Movie

1) Johnson tried to convince the Indian that British are there for their goodness. He tried to persuade them by giving them presents, saying that they were important symbols for the British. But only Mohawk agreed to fight with Johnson against French, the others preferred to remain neutral. The Indians don’t want to intrude between the whites.

2) In the Battle of Lake George was costly to both sides. The British were completed destroyed, and Johnson himself was mortally injured.

3) Purposes why Native Americans took captives:

·      As weapons

·      For spiritual reason

·      To replace warrior dead in the battles

·      To have ransom

4) Mary Jemison and is family are taken like a model of a normal American family which lived that historic context. What happens to her is shown as an example of the cruelty of Indians with civil people. Particularly importance is given to the feeling of fear she has once she has been taken as captive.

5) No I think they were too cruel. It’s right that discipline is important but it isn’t right to teach it with violence. Especially I think that stopped a human life, to tech discipline, is unthinkable!

6) Montcalm is the new French military leader who didn’t like Indians because they were too different from them and too slow in doing things.

7) Native Americans use to use captives to replaces Indians dead in battles, uses the dead bodies of the enemies like prizes, and used to take scalp from enemies’ captives (scalp I a braid of someone hair cut down). The Europe were more civil than the Natives, they respected the dead and didn’t cut down captives hair.

8) Montcalm offer to the British the chance to surrender before that the battle’s beginning, but they didn’t accept. The battled started and was terribly on both sides. So the British leaders asked for a temporary peace by sending a messenger to the French. An Indian, allied with French, killed the man before he arrived to the French leader, but he also took the letter and brought the letter to the commander. The French accepted the truce. The fighting stopped.  After the battle there was a meal were French and British ate together and the Indians wasn’t happy about that because they didn’t succeed their goal.
