re: #95 Obdicut

French and Indian War wasn’t a draw from the British point of view. (The earlier wars in the sequence generally ended with some sort of status quo since they were being fought in Europe, India, and North America.) This one ended with the British taking Quebec and Montreal and France never got Canada back.

A draw from the frontiersman perspective maybe. It ended with a bit of peace and the backers of the Indians changing from the French to the British and Tories by the time of the Revolutionary War. (If you want to read a good book on this whole time period on the frontier I would recommend _Bloody Mohawk_ if you want to see how a region handled this, or _Year of the Hangman_ if you want to see frontier events over a few years during the Revolution. The latter is a real good follow-up to reading McCullough’s _1776_.)
