They were mad over the French and Indian War which the Crown had gleefully dragged the colonists into, under which some tribes allied with the French and others with the Brits, to fight over territory, a story as old as time. Inter tribal and international warfare was, of course, an ancient pasttime among both native Europeans and native Americans.

- ffhhttt 3y agoTo be fair they didn’t quite manage to complete it since at the end the British decide the Indian to keep most of the land the colonists expected to get. e.g. Washington and his soldiers were promised quite a bit of land in Ohio(?) as a reward for helping fight the french. All of that land ended up being an Indian reserve the Crown decided to establish instead.

- ffhhttt 3y agoWell yeah, but I was talking specifically about the French and Indian war and its aftermath when various Indian tribes still to some degree controlled a territory which was several times larger than the all 13 colonies put together. They had to wait till independence to “complete it”.
- avgcorrection 3y agoDefinitely fair.
