Its warriors would have also contributed (with Abénaquis and Panaouamesko, in particular) to the massacre from 30 to 200 English (according to the sources) which will follow the catch of the fort, in spite of the open opposition of Montcalm which intervenes personally to stop this enfreinte with the articles of the capitulation. The anger of the Amerindians could be caused owing to the fact that they obtained little of their participation in the catch of the fort, Montcalm having ensured Colonel Young, ordering strong English, the honors of the war and the safe conduct of its 2000 troops towards the fort Lydius, 6 places more loins. The events surrounding the catch of the fort are reported fictionalized manners in the film the last of the mohicans, where the thesis is constant that Montcalm would have knowingly left English to the thank you of the Amerindians in order to reduce the risk to be confronted again with the same troops on the way towards Albany, the capital of the State of New York.

The scalp of MacRay

The scalp of MacRay probably arrives after an involuntary exchange of shooting and the woman is only scalpée once already died but American propaganda motivates 30.000 American to attack Burgoyne. This act by an Indian will thus cause the Britannique defeat in America. The sudden desertion from the Indians are also explained by American propaganda with Fort Stanwick which makes believe that American is much more numerous than they are it actually. After its Burgoyne defeat at the English Parliament of Luc of the Horn the Inhabitant of Quebec pro-British and Charles Langlade is lime pits the Mongrel of Michigan. Actually Burgoyne lost by its arrogance and he sought culprits. The business of the scalp of McRae by its Indian allies because its loss. Inhabitants of Quebec pro-American were with Arnold and overcame Burgoyne. (François Monty, Andre Pépin, Duplessis, Russet-red, Robichaud and several others)

As one can note it Charles Langlade is practically all victories Frenchwoman in America. And in the Britannique defeat which will cause the French victory with Yorktown. But especially those which shock more English to make atrocities (deportation, fire of the farms in Quebec, arrived of American against Burgoyne). In the book of Laurier Lapierre oddly pro-British one describes the death of two Indians by English with Beauport. These Indians were thus with Charles Langlade. The Shawnee of Michigan was very close to the Sioux. In Quebec in 1759 Montcalm was possibly helped by Sioux of the American west.

In 1752, Charles Langlade carries out a raid on Pickawillany at the time of the Guerre Seven Year old.
