Question

About 200,000 Native Americans lived east of the Mississippi River in 1790. As sites of conflict in the War of Independence moved westward, like white Americans, Indians divided in allegiance. Match each of the following groups to its allegiance during the Revolution.(non-Oneida) Iroquois nationsthe Cherokeethe Oneida Nation

Answer 1

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.
