The Siege of Louisbourg, 1745. Overwhelming American Victory Plants Overconfidence That Dictated Military Doctrine for Two Centuries.

The American victory instilled an unwarranted confidence in the colonies’ military prowess, fostering a belief that their amateur forces could stand toe-to-toe with professional armies. Yet, this triumph was overshadowed by the betrayal felt when Louisbourg, hard-won through their blood and sacrifice, was handed back to France in a distant peace negotiation. This decision by the British government deepened colonial resentment, planting the seeds of hostility that would only grow in the decades to come.
Louisbourg. May 1 - June 17, 1745.
American Forces: 4,270 Militia.
French Forces: 560 French Marines and Swiss Mercenaries with an additional ~ 1,400 Militia.
Additional Reading and Episode Research:
- Leckie, Robert. A Few Acres of Snow.
- Peckham, Howard. The Colonial Wars, 1689 - 1762.
- Balcom, B.A. Louisbourg; American History Magazine.
