Northeast Coast Campaign (1755)
The Northeast Coast Campaign (1755) occurred toward the end of Father Le Loutre's War and the beginning of the French and Indian War, in which the Wabanaki Confederacy of Acadia raided the British communities along the former border of New England and Acadia in present day Maine.
== Historical context ==
In response to Gorham's raid on the St. John River in 1748, the Governor of Canada threatened to support native raids along the northern New England border.〔https://archive.org/stream/selectionsfrompu00nova#page/n205/mode/1up〕 There were many previous raids from the Mi'kmaq militia and Maliseet Militias against British settlers on the border (1703, 1723, 1724, 1745, 1746, 1747). During the war, along the former border of Acadia, the Kennebec River, the British built Fort Halifax (Winslow), Fort Shirley (Dresden, formerly Frankfurt) and Fort Western (Augusta).〔Attacks on these forts continued through Father Le Loutre's War (See (Maine Historical Society )).〕〔Charles Morris had intelligence from Acadians that another Northeast Coast Campaign was planned for 1755 (See (Charles Morris )〕
Fort Halifax was completed on September 4 and the raids on the fort began on November 6, 1754.〔Williamson, History of Maine, p. 300〕 Wabanaki killed and scalped one soldier and took four others captive.〔Williamson, p. 302; (see shirley’s letters oct 30, p. 102)〕 In response, Governor Shirley sent 100 more troops to the fort.
