The Battle For North America: General Wolfe's impatience

The transcript describes a historical military event where General Wolfe plans an attack on French defenses across the Montmorency River. The British attempt an amphibious assault using flat-bottomed boats, but face challenges with tides and sandbanks. As they land, the French become aware of their plans, leading to a chaotic and foolhardy charge by the British soldiers. Despite their bravery, the attack results in heavy casualties due to French fire and a sudden storm. The British are forced to retreat, leaving behind many dead and wounded, who are then targeted by Native Americans and Canadians.
