Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General Braddock's defeat left the frontier from Pennsylvania to North Carolina open to Indian attack. The French and their Indian allies took control of the Ohio River Valley, which led to increased tensions and violence on the frontier. The defeat also contributed to a shift in British strategy to focus more on naval operations in the war. George Washington was actually appointed as the commander of Virginia's militia after Braddock's defeat. There is no evidence that Braddock was forced to leave the military or that the British called off their planned invasion of Canada because of his defeat.
