They were accused of witchcraft. Many people back in those days feared it. However, anyone could accuse someone of witchcraft in those days without evidence. Some were accused because others had a grudge against them. Some people thought that because some of the women were convulsing or acting out of the ordinary that they must have been involved in witchcraft. Punishment was carried out to discourage others from getting involved in the wicked religion so to speak.

About 200,000 Native Americans lived east of the Mississippi River in 1790. As sites of conflict in the War of Independence move
Firlakuza [10]

The Native Americans were forced to take sides during the American Revolution and they chose as follows:

British Side                                                             American Side

  • Cherokee                                                       Oneida Nation
  • Iroquois

In general, most Native Americans sided with the British because:

  • the British had limited American colonial expansion westward into Native lands
  • Britain had trading stations with the Natives where they exchanged goods with them
  • Britain had influence over Native affairs as a result of those trading stations

In conclusion, most Natives sided with the British when they had to pick a side except the Oneida and the Tuscarora.
