“Pre-colonial history treats” the French/Indian war as being something that happened, but of little significance.
You mean the pre-colonial history taught to high-schoolers treats the French/Indian war as being something that happened, but of little significance?
Pretty much, a brief stop mentioning some French influence, the terrors of the English/Colonial attacks on peaceful Indian nations, and then it’s on to the Revolution. My daughter brought it up to me, as she was perplexed where the George Washington guy learned to run armies during the revolutionary war.
