Why was Amherst such a poor choice to lead the British troops in America?

Jeffrey Amherst was considered a poor choice to lead British troops in America due to his rigid and sometimes overly aggressive military strategies, which alienated local populations and Native American tribes. His policies during the French and Indian War, particularly his approach to Native Americans, fostered resentment and conflict rather than cooperation. Additionally, his lack of adaptability to the unique challenges of the American landscape and his underestimation of the complexities of colonial politics hindered effective leadership. These factors ultimately undermined his effectiveness in the role.
