July 1754 CE

Washington and his troops abandon Fort Necessity on July 4.

The garrison marches away with drums beating and flags flying, but the natives and the French begin to loot the garrison's baggage on their way out.

Washington, who fears a bloodbath, does not try to stop the looting.

The natives will continue to steal from the soldiers until July 5.
