 | | Near the beginning of the war, in 1755, the British had expelled French-speaking populations in Acadia to Louisiana, creating the Cajun population, but this would not be repeated in 1763. | | | Edward Braddock led a campaign against the French in 1755; Washington was among the British and colonial troops. | | | The British were largely Protestant and felt their standard of living was far superior to the Catholics. |
