How did General Edward Braddock die?
General Edward Braddock suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of the Wilderness (Battle of Monongahela) in July 1755. Braddock was mortally wounded in the battle by a shot …through the chest. Braddock was borne off the field and died on 13 July 1755, four days after the battle. He was buried just west of Great Meadows, where the remnants of the column halted on its retreat to reorganise. Braddock was buried in the middle of the road and wagons were rolled over top of the grave site to prevent his body from being discovered and desecrated. George Washington presided at the burial service, as the chaplain had been severely wounded. In 1804, human remains believed to be Braddock's were found buried in the roadway about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Great Meadows by a crew of road workers. The remains were exhumed and reburied. A marble monument was erected over the new grave site in 1913 by the Coldstream Guards. The grave site is considered to be British territory. (MORE)

Why were the french and Indians able to defeat general braddock and his british troops?
The French and Indians had an advantage over General Braddock and his British troops that much resembles that of the patriot's advantage over the British nearly ten years late…r. The French's Native American Allies were able to warn the French of the migration of the British, and, therefore, the French were able to encounter the British and take them by surprise at the Battle of Lake George. They hid behind trees and shot at the British from all sides. General Braddock was killed and British troops were forced to retreat. More than half of the British troops were killed in the deep undergrowth where the battle took place. Among the surviving was the infamous George Washington, who would later lead the American Continental Army to victory. When thought through rationally, the British uniforms did not help much in the situation of the Battle of Lake George. They were bright red, which is the color that is most visible to a human's eyes. They were easy targets even in the dim lighting of the forest. Despite this flaw, the British later managed, after the loss of Fort Necessity, to take over Fort Duquesne, which contributed to their victory. The war was ended when the Treaty of Paris was signed in France in1763. (MORE)
