The Shenandoah Valley is in northern Virginia.
This is from a social studies book use at a very smart school just translated by me!!To the French, the Ohio Valley was an important link between France's holdings in Canada and Louisiana. The British, particularly those in the colonies of Pennsylvania and Virgina, saw it as an area for trade and growth.
The Tennessee Valley Authority helped Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
LaSalle, the French explorer, had claimed a huge land area from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Great Lakes in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. He called this area New France. The whole Ohio River Valley was not part of LaSalle's claim, but gradually the French moved into all of the Ohio River Valley. They were mostly fur trappers by trade.
The Ohio river valley became an area of conflict because of the fertile land that it contained. There, the French or the British could set up camps and claim the territory as their own leaving them self sustaining for the most part.

George Washington.

The answer is yes. He did claimed the Mississippi River.
The French and the British went to war because in the beginning both the French and British claimed the land in the Ohio River Valley. France feared that the British would take over the region. The British saw the forts that the French were building as a threat to the British settlers in the area.
