While the American colonies continued to grow, a massive global conflict erupted that would forever change the future of the continent.

In this episode, Jim Rand explores the French and Indian War — the North American theater of the Seven Years’ War. From George Washington’s first command and Braddock’s disastrous defeat to the dramatic turning points at Louisbourg and Quebec, the war tested colonial resilience and reshaped North America.

Discover how ordinary families endured frontier raids, militia service, and hardship while leaning on faith and community. This decade removed the French threat, gave colonists valuable military experience, and left Britain with massive debt — setting the stage for the tensions that would lead to the American Revolution.
