Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Joseph Brant, a young Mohawk:___, would be, E: wanted to create an Indian confederacy between Canada and the United States.

Explanation:

Joseph Brant, also known among his people as Thayendanegea, was a member of the Iriquois League, and was born to the Mohawk tribe in 1743. To the very end, Brant defended and supported the British claim to the Americas and he was highly influential in rallying the efforts of Loyalists to the British Crown during the American Revolution. When peace between America and Britain was signed in Paris, Brant was highly disappointed with the British but still he remained loyal to the British. In the end, he and his tribe of Mohawk, as well as Loyalists to the Crown, relocated towards the region of Upper Canada, on the Grand River valley (present day Ontario). This Province was established by the British in 1791 as a place of refuge for those who had supported the British against American colonists, mostly Indian tribes.
