Fort+Necessity

=**Fort Necessity**=

Virginians built a stockade but were easily driven out by the French who built a much bigger fort where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers form the Ohio River called Fort Duquesne. Unable to defeat the French, Washington built a quick fort called Fort Necessity. They would eventually abandon the fort and it would be burned by the French. However, the French and Indian War was underway. [|Click here for more information].
