Answer:

George Washington, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • George Washington, the then lieutenant colonel in Virginia, began the construction of a makeshift Fort Necessity.
  • The necessity for constructing a makeshift emerged as a result of the murder of Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, a French military officer, in the custody of Washington.
  • The French soldiers under the command of Jumonville’s half-brother forced Washington to confess for the murder of Jumonville and surrender.
