Native American Diary Entry
March 6, 1755
Dear Diary,
Today was very hectic. Me, my husband and our 3 daughters have been trying to flee the American Revolution, and finally we have found land to settle on. The land is very rough and isolated, nothing like it was back home, however we are grateful for what we have been given. My family is very scared about what awaits us, but I must stay strong for them. Many are panicked and confused, as we had to leave numerous possessions behind. My husband, Peter has been very helpful in making the transition easier for me and the kids, but I just can’t seem to deal with the fact that we must start our lives over. We will have to build a new home, get new jobs, and all well continuing to stay loyal to the crown and without contacting the French.

Peter has been drafted to fight for the crown. This is extremely devastating however, he will receive many benefits. These include 50 acres of land for every family member, and 1,000 acres for every field officer. He believes by fighting he will be able to provide for our family, and help us build a better life in this new land. The natives have taken a notice to us, but we do not speak, as our country has extremely complicated history with them. I guess we will have to learn the ways of our new home ourselves. Many say our arrival will impact the new colonization. Nevertheless, there is lots of uncertainty about the future of the British Crown, and the Independence of the United States of
