The western frontier of 18th century America offered great wealth to the greedy European conquerors called France and England. These two countries had been at war for seven hundred years over many different parts of the world and the new American continent would be no different. But there was a third group of people with something to say in this conflict. The superpowers had never confronted the type of independent, self-reliant personality. They were well armed and entrepreneurial people who the Europeans called "smelly rabble." But these settlers of the New World called themselves Americans and they dearly loved their freedom and their God-given rights.
