Summary: "The Conquest of Canada, Vol. 2" by George Warburton is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues the exploration of the conflicts and strategies involved in the British and French colonial struggles in North America, particularly focusing on the events leading up to the key battles of the French and Indian War. The narrative revolves around military leaders, colonial political structures, and the involvement of Native American tribes, showcasing the complex social and military landscape of the time. At the start of the volume, the stage is set for the escalating tension between British and French forces, particularly illustrated by the 1750 Paris conference that ultimately failed to resolve territorial disputes in North America. Warburton describes the political maneuverings, the rise of influential military leaders, and the dire conditions in both colonies that impact their readiness for conflict. Key figures such as General Braddock and Colonel Washington emerge as pivotal players amid a backdrop of military preparation, treachery, and the struggle for alliances with Native American tribes, hinting at the violent confrontations to come. The author establishes a vivid depiction of affairs in colonial governance and how corruption and civil unrest are undermining French stability, setting the stage for the battles that will shape the future of North America.
