First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga

After the French of Quebec willingly allied with the English, the English took full control (most likely a number of French Soldiers were stationed there at the time) of the French fort and gave the fortification the name of Fort Ticonderoga, probably on behalf of their Iroquois allies, but within a short time that fort became less important to the English until, that is, the Siege of Boston occurred. Badly in need of weapons, the English Americans made a decision to (if you actually believe historians) retake Fort Ticonderoga from the English. At the time (May of 1775) it was reported that only 48 soldiers and 25 woman and children lived there, and the fort had badly needed weapons. I�m not certain of what the truth is concerning Fort Ticonderoga in May of 1775, but since the fort was occupied by the English, it is very likely the Anishinabek from Quebec and Ontario, forced their way into the English fortification and took the English fort under their control. It was reported, however, that no one was killed in the battle, but only 48 soldiers had been captured. That is another suspicious event which occurred at Ticonderoga, because knowing how the Anishinabek were with the whites during time of war (they were prone to killing their white enemies when they had the opportunity to extract revenge as were the whies - it was a race war), the Anishinabek definitely either killed them all or most of them, then enslaved the survivors. Of course, the Anishinabek were responsible for forcing the English to surrender Fort Ticonderoga. Another English fort was captured a couple of days after Ticonderoga fell. That fort was Fort Crown Point. No casualties apparently occurred there, but we know better!. After capturing Fort Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, the Anishinabek took the badly needed European weapons of war that those two white military forts contained.
