Green Bay was the site of the Battle of the Bulge, which took place in 1815. The Battle was fought between the British and the Native Americans, who believed they were on or near the Pacific Ocean. The battle was won by the Ottawa chief George Braddock, who is credited with planning the ambush of British General George Washington in Washington in 1814. The Canadian-French settlers who followed, brought Canadian culture with them. These early French settlers set the tone for many of the early settlers in the territory. They were interested in the British justice system, which dispensed British justice in the region. They followed the Grignons, Porignons and Porignon Lawes, who followed the British in gaining control of Wisconsin, but were little interested in all of the French territory in the 1760s and 1770s. They moved to Green Bay, where they established a trading post in 1671, a Jesuit Mission was set up in 1717, and gradually associated development took place. The Winnebago hunted, fished, and cultivated corn, beans, squash, and tobacco. Wild rice, which they had incorporated as a dietary staple, grew in abundance along the riverbanks. They regularly harvested and cooked this, along with a wide variety of nuts, berries, and edible roots of the woods. Men typically hunted and fished for food, and women processed game and other foods in cooking.
