Why was the victory at fort ticonderoga unique?

As the American Revolutionary as unfolded, it was important for the American rebels to score some military victories against the British forces. In northeastern New York the British had a fort called Fort Ticonderoga. The Americans launched an attack on this British stronghold, and captured it in 1775. The American forces were led by Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen. As an aside, Arnold was one of the Americans; best generals. He decided to betray the Americans and help the British. Thus his name is now linked with the term "traitor".

What did the early colonists rely on the native Americans for?

The Native Americans in and around Jamestown didn’t help them or associate with the men. The fort was built in an Native American empire of 15,000 and there were 104 men in Jamestown. They built the fort on the worse land in the area with mosquitoes and bad water. The local tribes knew this and all they had to do is wait for them to die. Within six months there were only 34 left alive.
