They didnt provide troops but they provide supplies and so theres the creation after regional identity. I think more strongly in this war than any of the other previous ones. Yes, sir . So when the when they return to the french, what did they hear . Mainly the french come back. British leave and follow you know, and is it more of a slight skirmish to regrab the fort . No skirmish. The british come in and they think it is theirs. They have been pounding walls down, right .

And its like the africanamerican population demanded that it be taken down. And so it does seem like there is a real expression of political power in that city now. Well, its an interesting place.
