The next major blow to French morale …
Years: 1758 - 1758
July
The next major blow to French morale comes on the evening of July 23, at 10:00 PM, when a British "hot shot" sets the King's Bastion on fire.
The destruction of the King's Bastion, the fortress headquarters and the largest building in North America in 1758, erodes confidence and reduces morale in the French troops and their hopes to lift the British siege.
