First North American Republic (1756 World)

&nbsp The first North American Republic was a country that was founded in 1756 after the British attack at Fort Oswego in 1757.

Fort Oswego Attack
During the Batte of Fort Oswego (August 10–14,1756), the French under General Montcalm captured the fort and effectively interrupted the British presence on Lake Ontario. By March of 1757, the French had established a settlement behind the fort walls, and had come to friendly terms with the villagers. Indian scouts working for the British had reported increased troop numbers, and the British thought the French would attack them again. The British laid out a plan to call for the bombardment of the fort. The fort and village were pounded on 23 October 1757. People in the area began to feel that the British disliked the colonists, and were suspicious of British soldiers.

Meeting of New York
In January 7, 1758, delegates from the British colonies of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania met at a Manhattan hall to discuss sending a letter to the British King, George II, for autonomy in the area. This was done in response to the Fort Oswego Attack.
