Northeast Coast Campaign (1745)
1745 CE
The Northeast Coast Campaign (1745) occurs during King George's War from July 19 until September 5, 1745.
Three weeks after the Siege of Louisbourg (1745), the Wabanaki Confederacy of Acadia retaliates by attacking New England settlements along the coast of present-day Maine below the Kennebec River, the border of Acadia.
They attack English settlements on the coast of present-day Maine between Berwick and St. Georges (Thomaston, Maine).
Within two months, there are 11 raids - every town on the frontier has been attacked.
Casco (also known as Falmouth and Portland) is the principal settlement.
