Question

passage 1: when we came there, we were attacked by a party of french and indians, whose number, i am persuaded, did not exceed three hundred men, while ours consisted of about one thousand three hundred well - armed troops, chiefly regular soldiers, who were struck with such a panic that they behaved with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive. the officers behaved gallantly, in order to encourage their men, for which they suffered greatly, there being near sixty killed and wounded - george washington, july 18, 1755 passage 2: which source could be used to support washington’s account of the battle? an eyewitness account that claims around three hundred french and indigenous soldiers attacked the british forces a report from a british general asking for medical aide for soldiers wounded in battle

Explanation:

An eyewitness account that matches Washington's claim about the number of attacking French and Indigenous soldiers and the British - French encounter can support his account. A report asking for medical aid doesn't directly support the details of the battle as described by Washington.

Answer:

an eyewitness account that claims around three hundred French and Indigenous soldiers attacked the British forces
